Met a woman, she had a man Couldn't help it, I had a plan Right around midnight he was gone Saw her red light, she left it on (Chorus) And oh, my Heart's Done Time And oh, now she's mine If there's a reason for these chains It's like we suffer to ease the pain Now I got this feelin' inside of me My heart's in jail and I can't break free (Chorus) Now she's mine Now she's mine Now she's mine Now she's mine (Chorus) Now she's mine Now she's mine Now she's mine Now she's mine |
