What Can I Do To Make You Mine Sitting in my basement wishing, wondering what the hell I'm missing baby Loosing touch and loosing faith, as complications roll ‘round in my head I suppose it could be said that I'm just wasting all my time Come up for air once in a while to see the clouds outside There's happiness in innocence but I know that's not for me I'll take what I can get from you if there's nothing I can do to make you mine What can I do to make you mine? Lonely days and lonely nights waiting for my ship to come on in Even if I were a millionaire, I wouldn't put a dime on me to win Tireless I hope for the best, won't stop until I'm done Still common sense denies me from your world I've never been so smart with love, so I'll ask you once again What will it take for you to be my girl? Got you running through my head Tearing up my mind I might need therapy instead What can I do to make you mine? I don't want to own you, I just want to have my share I'm praying you might read between the lines I'm stranded and abandoned without you here next to me To whatever I'm proposing, I hope you're not opposed to it this time
