MINE TO KEEP

Krista N. Stithem 2009 (Oklahoma)

MINE TO KEEP

I can't call you me baby
When your not mine to hold.
I can't call you my secret,
When everybody knows.

I can't call you Angel
When evil lurks in you
You've got everything to prove
I can't call you innocent
You have everything to prove.

I can't call you honey
Cause you're not always sweet.
So what shall I call you
When you're not mine to keep
