I don't want to know the reasons why love keeps
Right on walking on down the line
I don't understand you and me
Baby, I, I just want you to be mine
Finally baby
The truth has come down now
And now ya listen to your spirit
It's crying out loud now
Tryin' to believe yeah
You say you love me, but you don't know
You got me rocking and a-reeling
Oh
I don't want to know the reasons why love keeps
Right on walking on down the line
I don't understand you and me
Baby, I, I just want you to be mine
Won't you to be mine?
Finally baby
The truth has been told
And now you tell me that I'm crazy
Now it's nothing that I didn't know
Tryin' to survive now
You say you love me, but you don't know
You got me rocking and a-reeling
Oh
I don't want to know the reasons why love keeps
Right on walking on down the line
I don't understand you and me
Baby, I, I just want you to be mine
Make you to be mine
(solo)
Tryin' to believe in
You say you love me, but you don't know
You got me rocking and a-reeling
Oh
I don't want to know the reason why love keeps
Right on walking on down the line
I don't understand you and me
Baby, I, I just want you to be mine
Make you to be mine
Gonna make you to be mine
Gonna make you to be mine
Wanna make you to be mine
Oh, won't you be mine, mine, mine
Won't you be mine
Won't you make up your mind?
