it was yesterday
when i looked into your eyes
and then you looked at me
and asked me what i want to be

as if you didn't know
what i've said all along to this conversation
what can i bring if i could be anything

(chorus):
if i could be anything
it'd be what you want me to be
and if that's not enough
to make you mine
i think i'll be your boyfriend
and stand right by your side

all this time we've spent
i'm surprised you didn't see
the good side of me
i might be broke, but i'm still me
to this day i saw
something deep inside of you
it reached right up and stole my heart
now there's nothing left to do

(repeat chorus 2x)
