Lyrics

I'm YoursJason Mraz

English

Well, you done, done me in, you bet I felt it

I tried to be chill, but you're so hot that I melted

I fell right through the cracks, now I'm trying to get back

Before the cool done run out, I'll be giving it my bestest

And nothing's gonna stop me but divine intervention

I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some

But I won't hesitate no more, no more

It cannot wait, I'm yours

Hmm, hmm

Well, open up your mind and see like me

Open up your plans and, damn, you're free

Look into your heart and you'll find love, love, love, love

Listen to the music of the moment, people dance and sing

We're just one big family

And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved

Loved, loved, loved, loved

So I won't hesitate no more, no more

It cannot wait, I'm sure

There's no need to complicate, our time is short

This is our fate, I'm yours

Do you, but you, do

But do you want to come on

Scooch on over closer, dear?

And I will nibble your ear

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror

And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer

But my breath fogged up the glass

And so I drew a new face and I laughed

I guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason

To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons

It's what we aim to do, our name is our virtue
