You Should Be Mine
I've listened to your heart it sings a song
He takes you for granted and leaves you alone
I've looked in your eyes and seen your despair
He treats you like he doesn't care
I'd hold your hand and speak my mind
In hopes of leaving pain behind
To gain a love that's fresh and new
I'm not afraid to say, "I do."
He has no clue what you desire
Why do you put up with that liar?
He'll never turn that house into a home
He fusses, he fights, he freely roams
You accept it like you have no choice
But baby you do, I'll be your voice
Of course, your kind is hard to find
That's why I feel you should be mine
