Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a fire burnin' in the basement That I'd only stoke for you I'd freeze my whole life If you felt warmth all the way through You have given hope Where hope is hard to find I hate the man I am But I'll love him when you're mine [Chorus] When you are mine No, I ain't so angry When you are mine This world don't owe me a thing Since you are mine Oh, the Lord could take me And I could die right now With no qualms or questioning [Verse 2] There were Pabst cans on the nightstand Where your jewelry's layin' now There's times that made me anxious But there is 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 [Chorus] When you are mine No, I ain't so angry When you are mine This world don't owe me a thing Since you are mine Oh, the Lord could take me And I could die right now With no qualms or questioning [Outro] There's a fire burnin' in the basement That I'd only stoke for you I'd freeze my whole life If you felt warmth all the way through And you have given hope Where hope is hard to find I hate the man I am But I'll love him when you're mine
