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.
