Be Mine Tonight Lyrics By Neil Diamond

    i never needed to hear the truth
    you never wanted to know
    i never wanted to be unkind
    but then something kept telling me go
    there was something kept telling me go

    we stayed together like birds in a cage
    but then one of us had to get free
    but who had the heart to say goodbye
    wasn’t you so it had to be me
    wasn’t you so it had to be me

    you told me to go when i wanted to stay
    making me over in every way
    telling me just what to do with my life
    but oh how i wish you could be mine
    oh how i wish you would
    be mine tonight
    be mine tonight
    tonight
    be mine tonight

    we never knew it for what it was worth
    it was worth more than we understood
    we never got past the lies and the hurt
    and it hurt even when it was good
    yes it hurt even when it was good

    you told me to go when i wanted to stay
    making me over in every way
    telling me just what to do with my life
    but oh how i wish you could be mine
    oh how i wish you could
    be mine tonight
    be mine tonight
    tonight
    be mine tonight

    tonight
    be mine tonight
    tonight
    be mine tonight

    tonight
    be mine tonight
    tonight
    be mine tonight
    tonight
    tonight
