[Verse 1]
If you were mine
I'd never let you leave me
If you were mine
I'd never let you go
Because you are
Just what I've always wanted
And I think that you oughta know
[Bridge]
From the moment I first saw you
Girl, you went straight to my brain
In my heart I've got a feeling
That I could never explain
[Verse 2]
I'm not one to believe in love at first sight
But you changed, changed my mind last night
I fell in love, even though I didn't intend to
Hard as I tried, I couldn't keep my eyes off you
[Bridge]
I know to you I'm just a stranger
I'm a stranger, baby
And I, probably I don't mean a thing
I don't mean nothing to you, baby, I know that
But to me you are an angel
And I want to be your man
[Verse 3]
If you were mine
You'd never know no sorrow
If you were mine
I'd marry you tomorrow, yes, I would
Believe me, girl
What the occasion
If you call me
I'll come with no persuasion
[Bridge]
You just call
And I'll come running
Oh, yes, I will, baby
Come rainstorm, hail or snow
'Cause the way I feel about you, well now
No place is too remote to go
[Outro]
Oh well, baby, oh well
Now now now now now now now now now
Hey girl, oh well
Oh baby, oh well
Oh girl, well
