REM - Strange Currencies lyrics

rate me

I don't know why you're mean to me<br>When I call on the telephone<br>And I don't know what you mean to me<br>But I want to turn you on, turn you up, figure you out, want to take you on<br><br>These words, 'you will be mine'<br>These words, 'you will be mine, all the time'<br><br>The fool might be my middle name<br>But I'd be foolish not to say<br>Going to make whatever it takes,<br>Ring you up, call you down, sign your name, secret love<br>Couldn't I take you in and make you mine? <br><br>These words, 'you will be mine'<br>These words, 'you will be mine, all the time', oh<br><br>I tripped and fell, did I fall? <br>What I want you to feel, I want to feel it now<br><br>You know with love come strange currencies<br>And here is my appeal:<br><br>I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance, a fourth chance,<br>A word, a signal, a nod, a little breath<br>Just to fool myself, catch myself, to make it real, real<br><br>These words, 'you will be mine'<br>These words, 'you will be mine, all the time', oh<br><br>These words, 'you will be mine'<br>These words haunt me, hunt me down, catch in my throat, make me pray,<br>Say love's combined, oh
