I'm yours
The King's Singers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill, but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
Now I'm trying to get back

Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's gonna stop me but divine intervention.
I reckon, it's again my turn
To win some or learn some.

But I won't hesitate
No more, no more.
It cannot wait
I'm yours.

Well, open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free.
Look into your heart and you'll find love, love, love, love.
Listen to the music of the moment, people dance and sing, we're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved, loved

So I won't hesitate
No more, no more.
It cannot wait
I'm sure.
There's no need to complicate.
Our time is short.
This is our fate
I'm yours.

Do you want to come on, scooch on over closer, dear
And I will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and I laughed.

I guess what I'll be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons.
It's what we aim to do.
Our name is our virtue.

But I won't hesitate
No more, no more.
It cannot wait
I'm yours.
Well, open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free.
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours.
So please don't, please don't, please don't...
There's no need to complicate.
'Cause our time is short.




This oh, this oh, this is our fate.
I'm yours.

The joy of the King's Singers is the fun they have with everything they sing, from the William Overture to Billy Joel. Inspirational. I'm old enough to have heard them from the beginning and loved them ever since, they never date.

@tenderlyone

I’ve always enjoyed listening to the King singers from the first group created in 1968 until the one now in 2021. I was fortunate enough to see four lineups here in Denver Colorado, and I’ve been joyed every single one of them.

@gypsyvail

Good grief, I adore Paul. So incredibly expressive and fun!

@medivalmusic

He is also a very nice fellow.

Paul is wonderful ^^ I love him so much. His creativity, great talent for performing, his art of interpretation - it's just amazing. It's a pity that the concert tour this year is his last one with King's singers. I wish him a happy life with his family. Paul, we're gonna miss you :_(
