Lyrics Strange Currencies - Remastered - R.E.M.

I don't know why you're mean to me
When I call on the telephone
And I don't know what you mean to me
But I want to turn you on, turn you up, figure you out
I want to take you on

These words, "You will be mine"
These words, "You will be mine
All the time"

Now fool might be my middle name
But I'd be foolish not to say
I'm gonna make whatever it takes
Ring you up, call you down, sign your name
Secret love, good rhyme
Take you in and make you mine

These words, "You will be mine"
These words, "You will be mine
All the time," oh

I tripped and fell
Did I fall
What I want to feel
I wanna feel it now

You know with love come strange currencies
And here is my appeal
I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance
A fourth chance, a word, a signal, a nod, a little breath
Just to fool myself, to catch myself
And make it real, real

These words, "You will be mine"
These words, "You will be mine
All the time," oh

These words, "You will be mine"
These words haunt me, hunt me down, catch in my throat
Make me pray, to say love's confines, oh
