Lyrics
Heads I win, tails you lose
I always play by my own rules
And I don’t believe in wasting time
So long before we end this night
I will have held you
I will have kissed you
I will have claimed you
You will be mine
I will have loved you
Wrong or right
I will have your heart
You will be mine
An unwritten law says a girl should wait
Should let the man set his own pace
But a woman in love, she’s above the law
So long before this night is gone
I will have held you
I will have kissed you
I will have claimed you
You will be mine
I will have loved you
Wrong or right
I will have your heart
You will be mine
You top my list of things to do
And I will get close to you
Before this night is through
I will have held you
I will have kissed you
I will have claimed you
You will be mine
I will have loved you
Wrong or right
I will have your heart
You will be mine
