Be Mine Tonight - Neil Diamond

BE MINE TONIGHTNeil DiamondI never needed to hear the truth You never wanted to knowI never wanted to be unkindBut then something kept telling me goThere was something kept telling me goWe stayed together like birds in a cageBut then of of us had to get freeBut who had the heart to say goodbyeWasn't you so it had to be meWasn't you so it had to be meYou told me to go when I wanted to stay Making me over in every way Telling me just what to do with my lifeBut oh how I wish you could be mineOh how I wish you wouldBe mine tonightBe mine tonight Tonight Be mine tonightWe never knew it for what it was worth It was worth more than we understoodWe never got past the lies and the hurtAnd it hurt even when it was goodYes it hurt even when it was goodYou told me to go when I wanted to stay Making me over in every way Telling me just what to do with my lifeBut oh how I wish you could be mineOh how I wish you wouldBe mine tonightBe mine tonight Tonight Be mine tonight
