Would You Please Be Mine Songtext
von Rose Royce

Let me state my case on behalf of my defense
With respect, may I object to his evidence
Gossip won′t clue you in on what I'm all about
Just sit down and hear it straight from the horse′s mouth

I plead guilty of loving you in the first degree
What I feel can heal the lame and make the blind man see
Lady, I want you so desperately
So would you please be mine?

Would you, would you, would you please be mine, whoa-oh
Would you be mine?

They say there's love sometimes at first sight
Just because you throw the bait, the fish don't always bite
Your friends say that cars and clothes are all that bring you joy
But I got something to excite you once you get bored with those toys

I heard your last guy was nothing but bad news
He was just a little boy trying to fill a grown man′s shoes
Life′s a big gamble, what you got to lose?
So would you please be mine?


Would you, would you, would you please be mine, whoa-oh
Would you be mine?

You play a starring role in all my fantasies
There's no me without you, oh woman, can′t you see?
Your every spoken word is like a symphony
So would you please be mine?

Would you, would you, would you please be mine, whoa-oh (be my man)
Would you be mine?
Love me for all time

Would you, would you, would you please be mine
Would you please be mine? (Whoa-oh)
Would you be mine?
Love me for all time
Would you, would you, would you please be mine
Would you please be mine? (Whoa-oh)
Would you be mine? (Love)
Would you, would you, would you please be mine, whoa-oh
Would you be mine?
Would you, would you, would you please be mine
