Hey baby say maybe
I can take you out tonight
What do you say
You say you say
You wanna go on a date
A date a date
Please don't say no lady
Oh baby
I can't let you walk away
Just give me a yes a yes a yes
She said then what happens next next next

I said how about you and me
Make you complete
Go hand and hand
Close to each other
Girl I wanna make my move

There's something about you
I can't explain it
I just know it
Don't wanna leave these words unspoken
Oh no

I wanna make you mine
Hey wanna make you mine
Hey wanna make you mine
Hey wanna make you mine
I wanna make you mine
Before we run out of time
I wanna make you mine

Why cupid

Hit me right between the eyes
What do I do do do
Girl i'm all over you you you
Love shot I can't help it
Can't shelf it
Girl you're such a PYT
And I wanna touch touch touch
If that isn't enough enough enough
Well then

How about you and me
Make you complete
Go hand and hand
Close to each other
Girl I wanna make my move

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rithma's song Make You Mine talk about a man's pursuit of a woman that he is clearly interested in. The song opens with the man asking the woman out on a date and expressing his fear of her saying no. He, then, goes on to describe his feeling towards her and his desire to be close to her. The chorus repeatedly sings 'Hey, wanna make you mine, before we run out of time' hinting that the man is afraid of losing the opportunity to be with this woman he desires so much. In the second verse, he compares his feeling to that of cupid's arrow hitting him right between the eyes and playfully tells the woman how he's all over her but in a non-invasive way. The song, in a way, celebrates the excitement and the butterflies that come with the beginning of romantic relationships. The man in the song is assertive, but not intrusive, and the lyrics of the song suggest that he genuinely wants to spend time with the woman he's after.


The song, in general, has a very positive and upbeat vibe to it. The lyrics have a playful tone and are quite straightforward in its message of a man pursuing a woman. The use of the word 'mine' in the song's title and the lyrics makes it clear that the song talks about the desire to be in an exclusive relationship. One can sense that the song is targeted towards the younger generation and talks about the early stages of relationships where the stakes are high, and both parties are afraid of rejection. The 'time' mentioned in the chorus is perhaps the sense of impeding time ticking away for the man to tell the woman how he feels before he loses the opportunity forever.
