Be Anything But Mine

Be a beggar, be a thief
Be my sunshine or my grief
Be anything, but darling, be mine
Be a wise girl, be a fool
Treat me tender or be cruel
Be anything, but darling, be mine

Climb to the top of the ladder
Be master of all you survey
Fail and it still doesn't matter
If you love me everything is okay

Be the angel of my prayer
Be the devil, who cares
Be anything, but darling, be mine

Climb to the top of the ladder, darling
And in your climbing try and be the master of all you survey
And if by chance you would but fail
Fail and it still doesn't matter

It doesn't matter simply because
If you love me truly with all your heart
And all your mind and all your soul
Everything is okay

Be the angel of my prayer
Be the devil, who cares
Be anything, but darling, be mine

Be mine
