If You Were Mine Lyrics By Ray Charles

    if you were mine
    i’d never let you leave me
    if you were mine
    i’d never let you go
    because you are
    just what i’ve always wanted
    and i think that you oughta know

    from the moment i first saw you
    girl you went straight to my brain
    in my heart i’ve got a feeling
    that i could never explain

    i’m not one to believe in love at first sight
    but you changed changed my mind last night
    i fell in love even though i didn’t intend to
    hard as i tried i couldn’t keep my eyes off you

    i know to you i’m just a stranger
    i’m a stranger baby
    and i probably i don’t mean a thing
    i don’t mean nothing to you baby i know that
    but to me you are an angel
    and i want to be your man

    if you were mine
    you’d never know no sorrow
    if you were mine
    i’d marry you tomorrow yes i would
    believe me girl
    what the occasion
    if you call me
    i’ll come with no persuasion

    you just call
    and i’ll come running
    oh yes i will baby
    come rainstorm hail or snow
    ’cause the way i feel about you well now
    no place is too remote to go

    oh well baby oh well
    now now now now now now now now now
    hey girl oh well
    oh baby oh well
    oh girl well
