Call You Mine
Kris/Lay (EXO) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you've got the freedom I've got the time
There ain't nothing sweeter than naked emotions
So you show me yours, hon, and I'll show you mine
No ma'm I know this ain't all that you've ever been used to
You with your rings on your fingers and time on your hands
Sometimes it's nice to have somebody nice to be close to
I wish that I was the answer to all of your questions
God knows I know you wish you were the answer to mine
Darling if you ain't a thing but a change in direction
Lord don't you know you'd be somethin' I'm lucky to find
I wish that I was the answer to all of your questions
God knows I know you wish you were the answer to mine
Darling if you ain't a thing but a change in direction
Lord don't you know you'd be somethin' I'm lucky to find
So you show me yours and I'll show you mine

Call me now, call me later, or call me whenever
Call me friend, call me lover, or call me whatever
I'll call you mine, no ownership implied whatsoever
I'll call it what it is, a natural blend together
Them other brothers like to holler forever
I holler now, how do I sound to you
I'm in town, you can get it
If not you can imagine
Enough with the rap, time for some action
(Can I) call you my own, and can I call you my lover
Call you my one and only girl
(Can I) call you my everything, call you my baby
You're the only one who runs my world

Kris doesnt have a powerhouse vocal (expected from the group's rapper), but I seriously love his voice. It's so husky yet sweet~<3
szekatka
i feel the same :) he actually sings nice i think, he sang baby dont cry once in happy camp, sang that lullaby about his mum, so he really can sing well ^-^

anocat He has a very pretty voice... But he still needs to work on his technique.

Cinthya Novoa maybe your opinions will change once you listen to his Time boils in The Rain for Tiny Times 3
張柳芳
ja_mycahh I already did :) The song was beautiful but not challenging... He still did an outstanding job and really showed off his beautiful voice... I stick to my opinion though. He keeps getting better and better, which is great, but he still has to work on his technique

I seriously think, KRIS and Lay should start a sub-unit now (although it seems impossible now.. T_T)! I love how they harmonize so well esp. when they do a cover of rainbow and now, call you mine. We all know that Lay's voice is really precious but I appreciated Kris' voice in this because even though he's not a main vocalist, he's voice is LOVELY and he can definitely SING! Gosh!! I'm missing Kris really bad now..
