I'm Yours ft. Lil Wayne & Jah Cure
Jason Mraz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I tried to be chill, but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
Now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's gonna stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Hmm (hey, hey)
Well, open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and, damn, you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love, love, love, love
Listen to the music of the moment, people dance and sing
We're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved, loved
So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
Do, do, do, do you, but do you, do you, do, do, but do you want to come on
Scooch on over closer, dear?
And I will nibble your ear
A-soo-da-ba-ba-ba-ba-bum
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-whoa-whoa-whoa
Uh-huh, mmm-hmm
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed
I guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Well, open up your mind and see like me (I won't hesitate)
Open up your plans and, damn, you're free (no more, no more)
And look into your heart, and you'll find (it cannot wait)
That the sky is yours (I'm sure)
So please don't, please don't, please don't (no need to complicate)
There's no need to complicate (our time is short)
'Cause our time is short (this is)
This, oh this, this is our fate (our fate)
I'm yours
Bra-bop-mm, da-bap-bop-mm-day
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do, do-do-do, mm-mm-mm-mm (hey, hey)
Oh, I'm yours
Oh, I'm yours
Oh, whoa, baby, do you believe I'm yours?
You best believe, you best believe I'm yours, mmm-hmm
The lyrics to Jason Mraz's song "I'm Yours" describe a feeling of being completely infatuated with someone and giving into that feeling without hesitation. The singer humorously starts with describing how the person has "done done" him in and how he tried to stay cool, but in the end, was completely overtaken by their beauty. He then sings about falling through the cracks and trying to get back to the person before it's too late. The singer promises to give it his all and will stop at nothing to win this person over.
The chorus of the song is an affirmation of his feelings for this person. He tells them that he won't hesitate to be with them and that he is sure they are meant to be together. Throughout the song, the singer encourages the person to let go of their fears and embrace the moment, to ditch their vanities and just go with the flow. He reminds them that life is short and that they should take advantage of every opportunity that comes their way, especially when it comes to love.
Overall, "I'm Yours" is an uplifting, carefree song about seizing the moment and living life to the fullest. It's a Doo-wop inspired track that encourages us to let go of our worries and embrace the power of music and the moment. Through its catchy beats and lighthearted lyrics, the song has become a feel-good anthem for many people.

This song will stick with me forever. I was a junior in high school back in 2009 and thought the girl I was dating was the one. I went on a month vacation from NJ to my families beach house in South Carolina and got a call in the middle of the night while there from her saying she made a mistake and cheated on me. Great song!
