I'd love to know just what you're thinkin'
Every little river, running through your mind
You give and you take, you come and you go
You leave me here wondering if I'll ever know
How much you care, or how much you don't
Whatever you need, whatever you want

If you're gonna be somebody's heartbreak,
If you're gonna be somebody's mistake,
If you're gonna be somebody's first time,
Somebody's last time,
Baby be mine
If you're lookin' to be somebody's just friends,
A little laughin', a little lovin', never callin' again,
That's just fine
If you're gonna be somebody's heartbreak,
Be mine, ohh be mine

I guess that all I'm trying to tell you
Is that a minute with you, is better than two without
Oooh, I won't be a fool, but I can't play cool, so, I'm playin' it safe
And I'm breakin' the rules
I'm wishin' I had what I know that you got
So if you're comin' my way, please don't stop

If you're gonna be somebody's heartbreak,
If you're gonna be somebody's mistake,
If you're gonna be somebody's first time,
Somebody's last time,
Baby be mine
If you're lookin' to be somebody's just friends,
A little laughin', little lovin', never callin' again,
That's just fine
If you're gonna be somebody's heartbreak,
Be mine

Ohh oh whoa
If you're gonna be somebody's heartbreak,
Or somebody's mistake,
Somebody's first time,
Or their last time,
Baby, be mine

If you're lookin' to be somebody's just friends,
A little laughin', little lovin', never callin' again,
That's just fine
If you're gonna be somebody's heartbreak,
Be mine, be mine
Oh I'll take my chances
If you're gonna be someone's heartbreak,
If you're gonna be somebody's mistake,
Somebody's first time,
Somebody's last time,
Be mine, be mine, be mine
Baby, baby, baby be mine, all mine
If you're going to break someone's heart, yeah
It might as well, might as well be mine
