[Verse 1]
I don't know why you're mean to me
When I call on the telephone
And I don't know what you mean to me
But I want to turn you on, turn you up, figure you out, sign you out
Make you mine

[Chorus]
These words, "You will be mine"
These words, "You will be mine," all the time

[Verse 2]
The fool might be my middle name
But I'd be foolish not to say
I'm going to do whatever it takes
Bring you up, call you down, sign your name, secret love
Take you in and make you mine

[Chorus]
These words, "You will be mine"
These words, they haunt me, hunt me down, catch in my throat, make me pray
To say love's confined, oh

[Bridge]
I tripped and fell, but did I fall
What I want to feel, I want to feel it now

[Verse 3]
And now with love come strange currencies
And here is my appeal
I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance, a fourth chance
A word, a signal, a little nod, a breath
Just to fool myself, to catch myself, to make it real, real

[Chorus]
These words, "You will be mine"
These words, "You will be mine," all the time, oh

[Outro]
These words, "You will be mine"
These words, they haunt me, hunt me down, catch in my throat, make me pray
To say love's confined, oh

R.E.M.

R.E.M. were an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry.

Berry quit the band in April 1997, as they were getting together to record demos for the album Up. He was not replaced on a permanent basis, but the band used an assortment of drummers in his place.
