[Verse 1]
I'd like to be yours
Tomorrow
So I'm giving you some time
To think it over today
[Hook]
But you can't take my blues away
No matter what you say, babe
You can't take my blues away
No matter what you say
What you say, hey, babe
[Verse 2]
Hey, babe
What's your thinking
No darling
It won't, won't change my mind
[Hook]
But you can't take my blues away
Now tell me what you say, babe
You can't take my blues away
No matter what you say
What you say, hey, babe
[Verse 3]
This way I feel
I know that's it's true
Because it's for you
You know that it's true
But you try to be
Hard to resist
I ask what it's for
You know you close the door
(No no, no no)
Yeah
(No no, no no)
[Hook]
Tell me what you say, babe
Say, yeah, babe
You can't take my blues away
Tell me what you say
What you say, yeah, babe
[Outro]
I've got the power
Do it in the hour
Say anything
Cause I've got this feeling
Say it in the hour
I've got the power
Come on
Yeah
Come on
I'd like to be yours
Tomorrow
So I'm giving you some time
To think it over today
