Yours Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yeah, I been a singer
Yeah, I been a smoker
Yeah, I been the face in every bedroom on a poster
Yeah, I been a thinker
Yeah, I been a joker
Yeah, I've done a lot of things just ’cause I wasn't supposed to

[Pre-Chorus]
There's another side of me
But no one ever gets to see it
I’ve been a lot of different things to different people

[Chorus]
But my favorite thing to be is yours, yours, yours
My favorite thing to be is yours, yours, yours
Out of all the things I've been before, fore, fore
My favorite thing to be is yours, yours, yours

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I been a leader
Yeah, I been a poser
Yeah, I been a kid who was afraid of getting older
Yeah, I been a stranger
Yeah, I been a son
Yeah, I been an album flop away from being done
[Pre-Chorus]
There's another side of me
But no one ever gets to see it
I've been a lot of different things to different people

[Chorus]
But my favorite thing to be is yours, yours, yours
My favorite thing to be is yours, yours, yours
Out of all the things I've been before, fore, fore
My favorite thing to be is yours, yours, yours

[Verse 3]
I could be a father
I could be a teacher
Talking to a kid who's got his hand around my finger
I could learn some patience
Wait for things to come
I could be at peace with all the wars I never won

[Pre-Chorus]
There's another side of me
But no one ever gets to see it
I'll be a lot of different things to different people

[Chorus]
But my favorite thing to be is yours, yours, yours
My favorite thing to be is yours, yours, yours
Out of all the things I’ve been before, fore, fore
My favorite thing to be is yours, yours, yours
[Outro]
Yours

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 [?]
