You Could Be Mine

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'm a cold heartbreaker, fit to burn

And I'll rip your heart in two

And I'll leave you lying on the bed

I'll be out the door before you wake

It's nothing new to you

'Cause I think we've seen that movie too

'Cause you could be mine

But you're way out of line

With your bitch-slap rapping

And your cocaine tongue

You get nothing done

I bet you could be mine

Now holidays come and then they go

It's nothing new today

Collect another memory

When I come home late at night

Don't ask me where I've been

Just count your stars, I'm home again

'Cause you could be mine

But you're way out of line

With your bitch slap rapping

And your cocaine tongue

You get nothing done

I said you could be mine

You could be mine, you could be mine

You could be mine, you could be mine

You could be mine, mine, mine, mine

You've gone sketching too many times

Why don't you give it a rest?

Why must you find

Another reason to cry?

While you're breaking down my back

I been rackin' out my brain

It don't matter how we make it

'Cause it always ends the same

You can push it for more mileage

But your flaps are wearing thin

And I could sleep on it 'till morning

But this nightmare never ends

Don't forget to call my lawyers

With ridiculous demands

And you can take the pity so far

But it's more than I can stand

'Cause this couchtrip's getting older

Tell me how long has it been

'Cause five years is forever

And you haven't grown up yet

You could be mine

But you're way out of line

With your bitch slap rapping

And your cocaine tongue

You get nothing done

I bet you could be

You should be

You could be mine

You could be mine (you could be mine)

You could be mine (you could be mine)

You could be mine (you could be mine)

You could be mine (you could be mine)

You could be mine (you could be mine)

You could be mine (you could be mine)

You could be mine (you could be mine)

You could be mine
