[Verse 1]
Where'd you get that sweater?
It's so not your color
And where'd you get those shoes?
They're too gangsta for you
You should have asked me, I would have told you straight away
And when was your last dinner?
You're looking so much thinner
And what's up with those eyes?
They're losing all their light
No, they don't sparkle quite like they did before
[Chorus 1]
You could be mine
You could be mine, all mine
Or you could be hers, whatever
But I could do you so much better
And I could be yours, I could be yours, I could be yours
All yours
But maybe that's too much more than you can take
Maybe you're just built to break
[Verse 2]
I'd like to do your laundry
Bake you some nice cookies
Or knit you a new cap
Could you deal with that?
Or does that scare you?
Because I think it might
[Chorus 2]
You could be mine
You could be mine, all mine
Or you can be hers, whatever
But I could do you so much better
And I could be yours, I could be yours, I could be yours
All yours
But maybe that's too much more than you can take
Maybe you're just built to break
[Bridge]
I think, maybe, you need reasons
Give yourself an out
Pick the girls who keep you wild
Don't know what love's about
I won't give you one more reason not to settle down
And I think that scares you
[Chorus 3]
You could be mine
You could be mine, all mine
Or you could be hers, whatever
But I would do you so much better
And I could be yours, I could be yours, I could be yours
All yours
But maybe I'm too much more than you can take
Maybe you're just built to break
