Yeah, well you could be my
Said you could be my
Yeah, you could be my
Yeah, okay, well you could be my
Baby you could be my
Baby you could be my

Well okay, it's alright, it's okay
Okay, well you could be my
Well okay, it's alright, it's okay
You could be my
Yeah, well okay, it's alright, it's okay
Said you could be my
Well okay, it's alright, it's okay
Said you could be my

Well, you ain't in the mood to argue
Baby don't you worry, this some shit to get along to
Some shit I right my wrongs to
Well, I've tried to call you, have us a discussion
We never talk, we always way too busy fuckin'
I'll think of something to say, I always do
I'm in love with the way that you say my name
Every time it sound brand new

And you, always wonderin' what we'll be
I say we sound better than you or me

Baby you could be my (Woo!)
Well okay, it's alright, it's okay
Yeah, I feel like you could be my
Well okay, it's alright, it's okay
And I can be your
Well okay, it's alright, it's okay
Only if you be my
It's alright, it's okay

Yeah, okay, and time will tell
If I'm alive and well, 'cause when I'm by myself
I find that I keep flying high, sometimes I must remind myself
That change is more than pennies laying on the floor inside a well
You cross my mind, do not apologize for being fine as hell
I'm spinning here inside your spell, my mind has start to wander
I missed a day, I stay up late admiring your posture

And you, always wonderin' what we'll be
I say we sound better than you or me

Baby you could be my
Yeah, well okay, it's alright, it's okay
And baby you could be my
Well okay, it's alright, it's okay
And I can be your
Well okay, it's alright, it's okay
Yeah, only if you be my

There's no more you or me, me or we, sweetheart
(Just be your sweet babe)
And I can see, I can see, so much better
I can see
I'm carefully, precious things fall apart
Just let them be, let it be, forever
Oh, loving me, in spite of me
Bless your heart, bless your heart
I can breathe, I can breathe so much better, yeah
I won't let anything tear us apart, no, no, no
We are we, we are we, forever

You could be my
Well okay, it's alright
I said you could be my
Well okay, it's alright, it's okay
And I can be your
Well okay, it's alright, it's okay
Only if you be my
It's alright, it's okay
