Anything But Mine

Walking alone beneath the lights of that miracle mile

Me and Mary making our way into the night

You can hear the cries from the carnival rides

The pinball bells and the skee-ball slides

Watching the summer sun fall out of sight

There's a warm wind coming in from off of the ocean

Making it's way past the hotel walls to fill the streets

Mary is holding both of her shoes in her hand

Said she likes to feel the sand beneath her feet

And in the morning I'm leaving, making my way back to Cleveland

So tonight I hope that I will do just fine

And I don't see how you could ever be

Anything but mine

There's a local band playing at the seaside pavilion

And I got just enough cash to get us in

And as we are dancing, Mary's wrapping her arms around me

And I can feel the sting of summer on my skin

In the midst of the music I tell her I love her

We both laugh 'cause we know it isn't true

Ah, but, Mary, there's a summer drawing to an end tonight

And there's so much that I long to do to you

But in the morning I'm leaving, making my way back to Cleveland

So tonight I hope that I will do just fine

And I don't see how you could ever be

Anything but mine

And in the morning I'm leaving, making my way back to Cleveland

So tonight I hope that I will do just fine

And I don't see how you could ever be

Anything but mine

Mary, I don't see how you could ever be

Anything but mine

And in the morning I'm leaving, making my way back to Cleveland

So tonight I hope that I will do just fine

Hey, I don't see how you could ever be

Anything but mine
