Everything But The Girl Mine Lyrics

Mine Lyrics

Mine

(Tracey Thorn)



Blown in winds of mischance

he would stay but that's not his way

What escape for her she swims in the dark

In too deep but still waves - "I'm okay

And I don't need his name, thank you

Mine fits me nicely and mine will do"



Unsteady footsteps can't walk alone yet

He's sends a postcard says he's in debt

Now she's treading water got a back room to let

Curses in the backyard neighbors on the doorstep

"You must give your child a name some time"

Well you mean his and what's wrong with mine?"



Sometimes she could kill him

Sometimes this house gets too small

She drives him to distraction

To see if he will fall

But if the truth were told

Which it never is

With a family like that

Who needs enemies

She'd be better on her own

You sink her like a stone
