[Intro]
Oh, oh
I want to be...yours

(Let's keep that record going)

[Verse 1]
Heart of mine, I'm sure you'll agree
We've never been in love before, honestly
I think she's the one
The lady for me
I know she feels the same way sincerely

[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, you're on my mind always
Come fill my nights and my days
You make me so crazy
Darlin' you know I wanna

[Chorus]
I want to be yours
I want to be forever yours
I want to be yours
I want to be yours

[Verse 2]
Every night I go to sleep
I want you layin' next to me truthfully
I need you right by my side
To take care of me, I'm on my hands and knees, girl
Come on

[Pre-Chorus]
And show me the way to your heart
How what when where can we start?
Don't make me wait forever
Now that you know
I wanna

I want to be yours

I want to be forever yours
I want to be yours
I want to be yours, yeah

I want to be yours
(I wanna be yours)

[Bridge]
Oh yeah

Whenever you call me
I'll be there
Just call and I'll come running
I'll be there
Whenever you need me I'll be there

Show me the way to your heart
How what when where can we start?
Don't make me wait forever
Now that you know
