[Verse 1]
I don't know why you're mean to me
When I call on the telephone
And I don't know what you mean to me
But I want to turn you on, turn you up, figure you out, sign you off
I want to make you mine

[Chorus]
These words, "You will be mine"
These words, "You will be mine," all the time

[Verse 2]
Now fool might be my middle name
But I'd be foolish not to say
I'm going to do whatever it takes
Ring you up, call you down, sign your name, secret love
Take you in and make you mine

[Chorus]
These words, "You will be mine"
These words, they haunt me, hunt me down, catch in my throat, make me pray, to say
Love's confines, oh

[Bridge]
I tripped and fell, and did I fall
And what I want to feel, I want to feel it now
[Verse 3]
You know with love come strange currencies
And here is my appeal
I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance, a fourth chance
A word, a signal, a little nod, a breath
Just to fool myself, to catch myself, make myself
Make it real, real

[Chorus]
These words, "You will be mine"
These words, "You will be mine," all the time, oh

[Outro]
These words, "You will be mine"
These words, they haunt me, hunt me down, catch in my throat, make me pray, to say
Love's confines, oh
