Jason Mraz ~ I'm Yours

Firstly, I wanted to mention that I have a severe dislike for the group singing on American Idol. I feel like I'm listening to an older people version of those Kidz Bop CDs. This week American Idol decided to butcher Jason Mraz's song "I'm Yours" from his third and most recent album We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. "I'm Yours" was a B-side to Mraz's second album Mr A-Z, and was made famous by recordings from his live shows. This video was made for Sessions@AOL. Like most of his live performances, Mraz toys playfully with some of the words so the lyrics may not all coincide.


I'm Yours by Jason Mraz lyrics

Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it.
I tried to be chill, but you're so hot that I melted.
I fell right through the cracks and now I'm trying to get back.

Before the cool done run out I'll be giving it my bestest and nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention.
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some.

But I won't hesitate no more, no more.
It cannot wait - I'm yours.

Well, open up your mind and see like me.
Open up your plans and damn - you're free.
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love.

Listen to the music of the moment people - dance and sing.
We're just one big family and it's our God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved loved.

So I won't hesitate no more, no more.
It cannot wait, - I'm sure.
There's no need to complicate, our time is short.
This is our fate - I'm yours.

D-d-do do you, but do you, d-d-do
But do you want to, come on.
Scooch on over closer dear and I will nibble your ear.

I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror and bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer.
But my breath fogged up the glass and so I drew a new face and I laughed.

I guess what I be saying is there ain't no better reason to rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons.
It's what we aim to do, our name is our virtue.

So I won't hesitate no more, no more.
It cannot wait, - I'm sure.
There's no need to complicate, our time is short.
This is our fate - I'm yours.

Come on and open up your mind and see like me.
(I won't hesitate.)
Open up your plans and damn - you're free.
(No more, no more.)
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours.
(It cannot wait - I'm sure.)

So please don't, there's no need.
(There's no need to complicate.)
There's no need to complicate.
(Our time is short.)
'Cause our time is short.
(This is our fate.)
This is, this is, this is our fate.
I'm yours.

Oh, I'm yours.
Oh, I'm yours.
Oh, whoa, baby you believe I'm yours.
You best believe, best believe I'm yours.
