Lyrics Neil Diamond

Neil Diamond

Be Mine Tonight

I never needed to hear the truth

You never wanted to know

I never wanted to be unkind

But then something kept telling me go

There was something kept telling me go

We stayed together like birds in a cage

But then one of us had to get free

But who had the heart to say goodbye

Wasn't you, so it had to be me

Wasn't you, so it had to be me

You told me to go when I wanted to stay

Making me over in every way

Telling me just what to do with my life

But oh how I wish you could be mine

Oh how I wish you would

Be mine tonight

Be mine tonight

Tonight

Be mine tonight

We never knew it for what it was worth

It was worth more than we understood

We never got past the lies and the hurt

And it hurt even when it was good

Yes it hurt even when it was good

You told me to go when I wanted to stay

Making me over in every way

Telling me just what to do with my life

But oh how I wish you could be mine

Oh how I wish you could

Be mine tonight

Be mine tonight

Tonight

Be mine tonight

Tonight

Be mine tonight

Tonight

Be mine tonight

Tonight

Be mine tonight

Tonight

Be mine tonight

Tonight

Tonight
