If You Were Mine
M.P.D. Limited Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Saw you standing in the rain, you were waiting in line
Stopping my mind, standing by the stop sign
You were looking like someone who could take up my time
Waiting for the city bus, my eyes locked on you
Been staring to long, but now you're staring to
I guess all of them stories I heard were all true
The lights shine red and gold
If you'd give me your time, girl
Yeah I wish you were mine, girl
And I won't let you go
If you'd give me your time, girl
Yeah I wish you were mine, girl
Saw her standing in the rain, and she look like a mess
Now I can't get her outta my mind for a sec
Either I'm crazy, or I'm down bad
Got me going crazy cuz I'm not around that
Damn, she hit me with a smile again
Called that girl, on her phone
From about nine to ten, yeah yeah
Gets me every time, girl
Won't you come by girl
The lights shine red and gold
If you'd give me your time, girl
Yeah I wish you were mine, girl
And I won't let you go




If you'd give me your time, girl
Yeah I wish you were mine, girl
