What About Mine? - Paul Westerberg

When you cried as a little baby

Mom and daddy let you cry

Thought that that was the best way maybe

To make you grow all strong inside

Now that you’re older

You need someone’s shoulder

What about mine?

Growing up your mind was closed

For repairs for a long, long time

You could feel the loneliness in your hairstyle

Just like mine

Now that you’ve grown up

You still need that shoulder

What the hell are you waiting' for?

It’s mine

I promise not to chase you

Only to embrace you

I promise not to bug you

Only just to hug you all night

When you was a little baby

Mom and dad they let you cry

They thought that’s the best way maybe

To make you all strong inside

(Were they) wrong?

(Yes)

Mine… What about mine?
