Mines Do
Avant Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

If love had a price that we all would pay, Or do we live in a different day, when it's
all about love
Things often part and fade away, But opportunity still remains for us to love
Though we often drift away, Does your love still stay the same

Girl, mind you, mind you, mind you, My love will never change for you, for you, for you
My love will never change for you, for you, for you
If life was a game, you would be my prize, and I would win it for you and I, it would come in time

You're like the light from the sun rays, and I've been waiting for all my days for us to shine, for us to shine

Though we often drift away, does your love still stay the same
Cause girl, mind you, mind you, mind you, My love will never change for you, for you, for you
Mind you, mind you, mind you, My love will never change for you, for you, for you
Hey, I shouldn't have to question your love, you should be sure to show it

You shouldn't have to question my love, unless you feel unsure right now
But baby it's worth it, cause my heart says that we're growing, and even through the rain, tell me does your love stay the same
Mind you, mind you, mind you, My love will never change for you, for you, for you
Mind you, mind you, mind you, My love will never change for you, for you, for you

Mind you, mind you, mind you, For you, for you

Mind you, mind you, mind you, For you, for you
For you, for you
