Paul Westerberg - What About Mine? lyrics

When you cried as a little baby Mom and daddy let you cry Thought that that was the best way maybe To make you grow all strong inside Now that you're older You need someone's shoulder What about mine? Growing up your mind was closed For repairs for a long, long time You could feel the loneliness in your hairstyle Just like mine Now that you've grown up You still need that shoulder What the hell are you waiting' for? It's mine I promise not to chase you Only to embrace you I promise not to bug you Only just to hug you all night When you was a little baby Mom and dad they let you cry They thought that's the best way maybe To make you all strong inside (Were they) wrong? (Yes) Mine...What about mine?
