There's a fire burnin' in the basement
That I'd only stoke for you
Freeze my whole life
If you felt warmth all the way through
You have given hope
Where hope is hard to find
Hate the man I am
But I'll love him when you're mine

When you are mine
Though I ain't so angry
When you are mine
This world done owe me a thing
Since you are mine
Oh, lord can take me
And I can die right now
With no qualms or questioning

Well, there were Pabst can
On the nightstand
Where you're jewelry's laying now
There's times that made me anxious
But there's beauty in finding out
How the good days come together
Like I always said they'd never
Back when I was younger
And the dark days kept me down

When you are mine
Though I ain't so angry
When you are mine
This world done owe me a thing
Since you are mine
Oh, lord can take me
And I can die right now
With no qualms or questioning

Well, there's a fire burning in the basement
That'd I'd only stoke for you
Freeze my whole life
If you felt warmth all the way through
You have given hope
Where hope is hard to find
Hate the man I am
But I'll love him when you're mine
