Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's not what you do, it's just the way that you do it

Makes me feel this way

It's not what I see, it's what I read into looks been giving me

Now make no mistake (Make no mistake)

I'm not sure I can take anymore of this waiting game

If I had my way (If I had my way)

I'd like to hear you say

You kinda feel the same way too

[Verse 2]

So when will you be mine? Do I have to wait forever?

When will you be mine? Do I have to wait forever? Ever (Ever) ever

When will you be mine?

When will you be mine?

[Verse 3]

It's not what you think, but when you take a drink

I feel this invitation

There's no need to worry, 'cause I'm in no hurry

I just want that sensation

I don't look for trouble (Don't look for trouble)

Sometimes that trouble come looking for me, yeah

There's one thing that I want to do (One thing I want to do)

Is take you out of here with me

[Verse 4]

So when will you be mine? Do I have to wait forever?

When will you be mine? Do I have to wait forever?

When will you be mine?

When will you be mine?

[Verse 5]

When will you be mine? Do I have to wait forever?

Do I have to wait now?

When will you be mine? Do I have to wait forever?

[Verse 6]

When will you be mine? What's the problem? I've got to know

When will you be mine? Please don't you keep me in suspense this way

When will you be mine? This waiting is killing me

When will you be mine? I can't stand your drinking all night

When will you be mine?
