You're Mine
Mariah Carey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just can't seem to give you up
You're mine, you're mine (eternal, eternal, eternal)
Mine (mine)
Mine
Mine (you're mine)
Mine

I can't seem to live without your love
Suffocating here by myself, dying for your touch
Spring time eyes that get you every time
And I just can't seem to give you up, you're mine

You made me feel
Our love would never end
How can I forget
Baby, we were the best
Suffered dreams of you all through the night
And, baby, I can't seem to give you up, you're mine

I can't seem to give you up, you're mine (baby, you're mine)
I can't seem to give you up, you're mine (oh-oh)

Summer days and summer nights
When I felt you in my arms
Didn't I want you badly
Wanted to let you have me

Autumn days and stormy nights
When you crushed me with your charms
Didn't I need you madly
Now I'm lying here falling apart

I can't seem to live without your love
Suffocating here by myself, dying for your touch
Spring time eyes that get you every time
And I just can't seem to give you up, you're mine

Boy, you made me feel
Our love would never end
How can I forget
Baby, we were the best
I suffered dreams of you all through the night
And, baby, I can't seem to give you up, you're mine

I can't seem to give you up, you're mine (baby, you're mine)
I can't seem to give you up, you're mine

Oh, you made me feel
Like love would never end
Tell me how can I forget that
My baby we were the best
I suffer in dreams of you all through the night
And, baby, I can't seem to give you up, you're mine

I can't seem to give you up, you're mine
I can't seem to give you up you're mine





(Eternal, eternal, eternal)
