I'm saying
Yeah, you gon' be mine
First time I saw you, baby
You did something to me
That no else has ever done, ooh
It's something in your eyes caught me by surprise
But what's bad is I know you got a man
And he'll never understand
The chemistry between me and you, oh, baby
Something inside of me (inside of me)
Is saying you and I were meant to be
If you can think it, you can have it
That why I believe
One day you'll be mine (one day you'll be mine)
(Ooh, baby, aw sugar) mine
No more creeping, sleeping around
No whispering when he's around
One day you'll be mine
(Said, one day you'll be mine) mine
No more creeping, sleeping around (creeping, sleeping)
Whispering when he's around (whispering around)
Now, every time I see you, baby, it's plain to see
That I'm everything you've been missing at home, babe, ohh
So much love to share, it's something in the air
Telling me I should never leave you alone
But even though I know you got a man
He'll never understand
The chemistry between me and you, oh baby
You can try to stop it, but it won't quit
You say you don't when I know that you want it
I know, one day you'll be mine
One day you'll be mine
(Oh, girl, said you'd be mine) mine
No more creeping, sleeping around
No whispering when he's around
One day you'll be mine
You'll be mine
No more creeping, sleeping around (girl)
Whispering when he's around (ooh yeah)
(To the beat)
One day you'll be mine (rock on)
(One day you'll be mine, one day you'll be mine) mine
No more creeping, sleeping around
No whispering when he's around
One day you'll be mine
You'll be mine
No more creeping, sleeping around (yeah)
Whispering when he's around

First time I saw you baby
From the very first moment I laid my eyes on you
You did something to me
You awakened a feeling in me that I have never felt before
That no one else has ever done
None of the people I have met before were able to elicit this feeling from me
Oh-its something in your eyes
It's the way your eyes look that caused this feeling in me
Caught me by surprise
It was unexpected and sudden
And told me that you were the one
It made me realize that you are the one I have been looking for
Oh-but what's bad is I know you got a man
Sadly, I am aware that you are already in a relationship with another man
And he'll never understand
He will never be able to realize the connection we have
The chemistry between me and you-Ah baby
The intense attraction and connection between us
Something inside of me
There's an inner voice within me
It's saying you and I were meant to be
It's telling me that you and I are destined to be together
If you can think it you can have it
If you desire something strongly enough, you can make it happen
That's why I believe
This is the reason why I have faith
No more creepin', sleepin' around
You won't have to cheat or be with someone other than me anymore
No whisperin' when he's around
You won't have to keep our relationship a secret when he's around anymore
Now every time I see you baby
Each time I have the pleasure of seeing you
It's plain to see
It's obvious to me
That I'm everything you've been missin' at home baby
I am everything that's lacking in your current relationship
So much love to share
I have a lot of love to give
It's something in the air
There's a strong feeling in the atmosphere
Tellin' me I should never leave you alone
Urging me to always be with you and never let you go
But even though
However
You can try to stop it but it won't quit
You may attempt to put an end to it, but it won't go away
You say you don't when I know that you want it
You claim that you don't want me, but I am certain you do
I know,one day you'll be mine
I am confident that someday, you and I will be together
One day you'll be mine[mine]
One day, you will belong to me
