Be Mine! (Live At the Cherrytree House) - Robyn

It's not simple to say Most days I don't recognize me These shoes and this apron That place and its patrons Have taken more than I gave 'em It's not easy to know I'm not anything like I used to be Although it's true I was never attention sweet center I still remember that girl She's imperfect but she tries She is good but she lies She is hard on herself She is broken and won't ask for help She is messy but she's kind She is lonely most of the time She is all of this mixed up And baked in a beautiful pie She is gone but she used to be mine And it's not what I asked for Sometimes life just slips in through a back door And carves out a person Makes you believe it's all true And now I've got you You know you're not what I asked for If I'm honest I know I would give it all back For a chance to start over Rewrite an ending or two For the girl that I knew Who be reckless just enough Who gets hurt but Who learns how to toughen up when she's bruised And gets used by a man who can't love And then she'll get stuck and be scared Of the life that's inside her Growing stronger each day 'Til it finally reminds her To fight just a little To bring back the fire in her eyes That's been gone but it used to be mine Used to be mine She is messy but she's kind She is lonely most of the time She is all of this mixed up and baked in a beautiful pie She is gone but she used to be mine

Been there dreaming, helps to pass the time Got to thinking 'bout this girl that could be mine She's got everything, mm But I don't think, she even knows All the while inside my love for her still grows I want everything, she's got everything She could be Bardot and Monroe, Sophia Loren She could be reincarnated as Hepburn again She could be perfect to love, simply divine Could she be mine, ooh From my window, I can see hеr place I know her silhouettе so well that I could trace Every curve and line Seems a crazy way, to pass my time away Listing clothes that she would wear to work that day How she looks so fine, wishing she was mine She could be Bardot and Monroe, Sophia Loren She could be reincarnated as Hepburn again She could be perfect to love, simply divine Could she be mine Could I be just what she needs, am I fooling myself She would ever choose me instead of anyone else Could it be that our fate, is inter twined Could she be mine I asked my best friend, if he thought she could be mine He just laughed, I didn't take it as a positive sign His advice was "man, she's way out of your league She's the sun, and the moon, she is shining... for me" She could be Bardot and Monroe, Sophia Loren She could be reincarnated as Hepburn again She could be perfect to love, simply divine Could she be mine, ooh yeah yeah I am just what she needs, am I fooling myself She would ever choose me instead of anyone else Could it be that our fate, is inter twined Could she be mine, ooh... ooh mine... yeah Could she be mine, mmm All mine

I never thought of this as funny It speaks another world to me I wanna be your Easter Bunny I wanna be your Christmas tree I'll strip the world that you must live in Of all it's God forsaken greed I'll ply the tar out of your feathers I'll pluck the thorns out of your feet You and me You and me You and me And if I choose your sanctuary I'll want to wash you with my hair I'll want to drink of sacred fountains And find the riches hidden there I'll eat the lotus and peyote I'll want to hear the caged bird sing I'll want the secrets of the temple I'll want the finger with the ring You and me You and me You and me And if you make me your religion I'll give you all you will need I'll be the drawing of your breath I'll be the cup if you should bleed I'll be the sky above the Ganges I'll be the vast and stormy sea I'll be the lights that guide you inland I'll be the visions you will see Visions you will see, you will see, you will see You and me You and me You and me You and me You and me You and me
