Can I Call You Mine Lyrics

You can let me down,
You can let me down,
You can tell me how you feel,
Even if it's going to let me down

If I come back every single time,
Can I call you mine?

Betty, Shelly, Jodie,
You can slap me around,
You can tell me all the things that i do wrong,
You're still the girl I want to have around

Love you either way i find,
Can I call you mine?

Can i buy you a ring?
I think I'd like to buy you a ring
Slide on your finger or stick it on your shelf,
As long as you remember its from me

I'd could be your valentine
Can I call you mine?

I'm not asking much,
I don't want too much,
I promise I don't ever want to get in your way,
I only want to see you every day

If you're the girl who won't decline
Can I call you mine?
Can I call you mine?

I'll only ask you once because I'm far too dignified,
Can I spend forever by your side?
If you're answers no thats fine,
Can i call you mine?

Can I call you mine?
Can I call you mine?
Oh please oh please,
What if I ask you very nice?
Can I call you mine?
Can I call you mine?
Can I call you mine?
Can I call you mine?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
