Anything But Mine

Walking along beneath the lights of that miracle mile

Me and Mary making our way into the night

You can hear the cries from the carnival rides

The pinball bells and the skeeball slides

Watching the summer sun fall out of sight

There's a warm wind coming in from off of the ocean

Making its way past the hotel walls to fill the street

Mary is holding both of her shoes in her hand

Said she likes to feel the sand beneath her feet

And in the morning I'm leaving, making my way back to Cleveland

So tonight I hope that I will do just fine

And I don't see how you could ever be anything but mine

There's a local band playing at the seaside pavilion

And I got just enough cash to get us in

And as we're dancin Mary's wrapping her arms around me

And I can feel the sting of summer on my skin

In the midst of the music I tell her I love her

We both laugh cause we know it isn't true

Ah but Mary there's a summer drawing to an end tonight

And there's so much that I long to do to you

But in the morning I'm leaving, making my way back to Cleveland

So tonight I hope that I will do just fine

And I don't see how you could ever be anything but mine

And in the morning I'm leaving, making my way back to Cleveland

So tonight I hope that I will do just fine

And I don't see how you could ever be anything but mine

And in the morning I'm leaving, making my way back to Cleveland

So tonight I hope that I will do just fine

And I don't see how you COULD ever be anything but mine

Mary I don't see how you could ever be anything but mine

And in the morining I'm leaving making my way back to Cleveland

So tonight I hope that I will do just fine

And I don't see how you could ever be anything but mine
