You Won’t Be Mine Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take your head around the world
And see what you get from your mind
Write your soul down word for word
See who's your friend and who is kind

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, it's almost like a disease
And I know soon you will be

[Chorus]
Over the lies, you'll be strong
You'll be rich in love and you will carry on and on
But, no, oh, no
No, you won't be mine

[Verse 2]
And take your straight line for a curve
Make it stretch in the same old line
Then try to find if it was worth
What you spent, why you're guilty for the way you're feelin' now

[Pre-Chorus]
It's almost like bein' free
Well, I know soon you will be
[Chorus]
Over the lies, and you'll be strong
You'll be rich in love and you will carry on and on
But, no, oh, no
No, you won't be mine

[Bridge]
Well, take yourself out to the curb
Sit and wait, a fool for life

[Pre-Chorus]
And it's almost like a disease
Well, I know soon you will be

[Chorus]
You'll be over the lies, and you'll be strong
And you'll be rich in love and you will carry on and on
Oh, but no, no, oh, no
Oh, no, you won't, won’t be mine

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
