Say You Will
Foreigner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make up your mind tonight
Say you do, say you don't
Wanna be mine
Say you will, say you won't
Make up your mind this time
Say you will, say you will
Be mine tonight
I can't sleep, I keep dreaming of losing you
I feel so alone in the night, scared to open my eyes
I'm in too deep, I'm in over my head this time
Can't get you out of my mind no matter how hard I try
So won't you
Say you will, say you won't
Make up your mind tonight
Say you will, say you won't
Be my guiding light
Say you will, say you won't
Make up your mind this time
Say you do, say you do
You wanna be mine
I get the feeling I've never been here before
'Cause no one I've known's ever moved me the way that you do
And I know this is the real thing
It's all I've been searching for
I put it all on the line now I'm hoping you feel that way too
(And if you do) Why don't you
Say you will, say you won't
Make up your mind tonight
Say you do, say you don't
Wanna be mine
Now will you
Say you will, you say you won't
Make up your mind this time
Say you will, say you will
You'll be mine tonight
Will you tell me how much I mean to you?
Will you say you always will be true?
I need more than a come on sign
So won't you say you will be mine
Now won't you
Say you will, say you won't
Make up your mind tonight
Say you will, say you will
Be my guiding light
Say you will, say you will
Make up your mind this time
Say you do, say you do
You wanna be mine
Come on, come on
Say you will
Make up your mind tonight
Say you will, say you will
Be mine tonight
Be mine tonight
Say you will
Be mine tonight, yeah
Say you will
Be mine tonight
Say you will
Say you will
Say you will

How this group is not in the rock and roll Hall of fame blows my mind. Foreigner rocks.
