Lovely lady, take my hand
While we spend the night together
I would love to be your man
Even though we belong to another
It's understood that you're not mine forever
So why not say you'll be mine for a while?
And in the length of time that we're together
I'd like to do the things that make you smile
So why not be mine for a while, baby?
Why not be mine for a while?
I promise, girl, to do the things that make you smile
Why not be mine for a while, baby?
Why not be mine for a while?
There's a saying I'm sure you've heard
Variety is the spice of life
When you need a change of heart
I'll be there, right there, just waitin'
Now it's understood that you're not mine forever
So why not say you'll be mine for a while?
And in the length of time that we're together
I'd like to do the things that make you smile
So why not be mine for a while, baby?
Why not be mine for a while?
I promise, girl, to do the things that make you smile
Why not be mine for a while, baby? (For a while baby)
Why not be mine for a while? (Oh baby it might be wrong, but-)
I promise, girl, to do (Oh I promise to do) the things that make you smile
Why not be mine for a while, baby? (For a while)
Why not be mine for a while? (Anything I could do that might make you smile)
I promise, girl, to do (Oh I promise to do)
Every little thing, every little thing to make you happy
For a while (Baby)
So why not be mine for a while? (Why not be mine for a while?)
I wanna give you flowers by the hour (Promise girl to do, things that make you smile)
And all of my love for every little thing (Why not be mine for a while, baby?)
Come on baby, won't you stay for a while? (Why not be mine for a while, baby?)
Oh I promise to do every little thing, every little thing (Promise girl to do)
Every little thing to make you happy
