So you’re the muse
I thought I recognized you
I’ve seen you around
But we never had a chance to really talk

I think we might be getting closer
To a very good thing
Nothing lights the world
Like the joy that you can bring

Give me a chance to show you
What I will do for you

I’ll get up early
I’ll stay up late
I’ll be the world’s most devoted date
I’ll get a babysitter
I’ll steal some time
I’ll do anything if you’ll be mine
Please be mine

I’m confused
In the poems I read the muse is a beautiful woman
Who gives the writer his pen and with her cool, smooth hands
Gently coaxes the words from him

Look, I know that you believe in me
Or you wouldn’t come around
Why do you build my hopes
To send them crashing to the ground

Oh, come on, baby
Don’t do me like you do

I’ll get up early
I’ll stay up late
I’ll be the world’s most devoted date
I’ll get a babysitter
I’ll steal some time
I’ll do anything if you’ll be mine
Please be mine

You’re beautiful
But you’re cruel
And I’m nothing
But your fool
You leave me hanging
But I won’t give up yet
I’ll stick around
And take what I can get
I’ll take what I can get

I’ll get up early
I’ll stay up late
I’ll be the world’s most inspired date
I’ll get a babysitter
I’ll steal some time
I’ll do anything if you’ll be mine
Please be mine
