The song is very easy to understand and most of us has been in this situation before and should be able to relate to the song. This song has been sampled in numerous of gangsta rap songs as well. The song never got that much attention but I feel like this is an great song sung by Anita!
[Verse 1]
Something has come over me
A feeling I can't explain
The love I lost I found again
My broken heart you came to mend
But it still seems as though
We are miles and miles apart
The very best is all I got
It's all I got to give
My soul was lost in the dark of night
But you arrived to see me through
And you came to me all by surprise
To remove the darkness right out of my eyes
And it's plain to see
That you were all I need
And I wanna know...
[Chorus]
Will you be mine?
Sugar, will you be mine?
Sugar, will you be mine?
Sugar, will you be mine?
[Verse 2]
This kind of love only comes around
Only once in a lifetime
But the last love I tried to hold
It left me feeling so empty and blue
And it made me afraid
To let my true feelings show
[Verse 3]
I need you here right by my side
Each and every night
My soul is crying out to you
It's reaching out for something true
What do I have to do
To get you into my life?
The suspense is tearing me, tearing me apart
Won't you bring your love
Bring it all to me
So that we can live together eternally
Will you be mine?
[Chorus]
Will you be mine?
Sugar, will you be mine?
Sugar, will you be mine?
Oh baby, would you be, would you be mine?
Will you be mine?
Sugar, will you be mine?
Will you be mine?
Sugar, will you be mine?
