I Wanna Make You Mine
Safire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's something that I've been wanting to say
But sometimes the words, they get in the way
Boy, everytime I look in your eyes
This magic I feel way down inside

I wanna make you mine
From the first time I saw you looking so fine
I wanna make you mine
Tell me if I'm wasting my time

I wanna make you mine
From the first time I saw you looking so fine
I wanna make you mine
Tell me if I'm wasting my time

Oh I've been waiting oh so long
Love's a fever coming on strong
Make me an offer, I can't refuse
Be my man, how can you lose

Long lonely nights, I wait all alone
Waiting and hoping that you ring my phone

I wanna make you mine
From the first time I saw you looking so fine
I wanna make you mine
Tell me if I'm wasting my time

I wanna make you mine

I wanna make you mine
From the first time I saw you looking so fine
I wanna make you mine
Tell me if I'm wasting my time

I wanna make you mine (I wanna make you mine)
I wanna make you mine (I wanna make you mine)
I wanna make you mine
I wanna make you mine
Tell me if I'm wasting my time

I wanna make you mine

I wanna make you mine




I wanna make you mine (I wanna...)
I wanna make you mine

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Safire’s song “I Wanna Make You Mine” are about a woman who is attracted to a man, but finds it hard to express her feelings. She has been waiting a long time to confess her love to him, but is afraid of rejection or not being taken seriously. The lyrics express a longing and desire for this person in a romantic way.


The opening line, “There's something that I've been wanting to say, But sometimes the words, they get in the way” speaks to the fear that many people feel when trying to express their emotions. The verses that follow speak to the intense attraction that the singer feels toward the person she is singing to (“Boy, every time I look in your eyes, This magic I feel way down inside”), and her desire to make him hers (“I wanna make you mine, From the first time I saw you looking so fine”).


The chorus of the song repeats these feelings, but also adds an element of uncertainty (“Tell me if I'm wasting my time”). This shows the singer’s fear of rejection and a desire for clarity from the person she is singing to.


Overall, “I Wanna Make You Mine” is a catchy love song that expresses a universal feeling of being smitten by someone and wanting to express those feelings, but feeling uncertain or afraid to do so.
