Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Oh, I'm a cold heartbreaker

Fit to burn and I'll rip your heart in two

And I'll leave you lyin' on the bed

I'll be out the door before you wake

It's nothing new to you

'Cause I think we've seen that movie too

[Chorus]

'Cause you could be mine

But you're way out of line

With your bitch slap rappin' and your cocaine tongue

You get nothing done

I said, you could be mine, ow

[Verse 2]

Now holidays come and then they go

It's nothing new today

Collect another memory

When I come home late at night

Don't ask me where I've been

Just count your stars, I'm home again

[Chorus]

'Cause you could be mine

But you're way out of line, ow

With your bitch slap rappin' and your cocaine tongue

You get nothing done

I said, you could be mine

[Bridge]

You could be mine

You could be mine

You could be mine

You could be mine

You could be mine, mine, mine, mine

[Bridge]

Ooh, you've gone sketchin' too many times

Ooh, why don't you give it a rest?

Why must you find

Another reason to cry?

[Bridge]

While you're breakin' down my back

And I been rackin' out my brain

It don't matter how we make it

'Cause it always ends the same

[Bridge]

You can push it for more mileage

But your flaps are wearin' thin

And I could sleep on it till morning

But this nightmare never ends

[Bridge]

Don't forget to call my lawyers

With ridiculous demands

And you can take the pity so far

But it's more than I can stand

[Bridge]

'Cause this couch trip's getting older

Tell me, how long has it been?

'Cause five years is forever

And you haven't grown up yet

[Chorus]

Oh, you could be mine

But you're way out of line

With your bitch slap rappin' and your cocaine tongue

You get nothing done

I said, you could be, you should be

You could be mine

[Outro]

Oh, you could be mine

Mine, you could be mine

Oh, you could be mine

You could be mine

[Outro]

Oh, you could be mine

Oh, you could be mine

Oh, you could be mine

You could be mine, yeah
