[Pattern 1] 
I don't know why you're mean to me
[Pattern 2] 
When I call on the telephone
[Pattern 1] 
I don't know what you mean to me, but I want to turn you on
[Pattern 2] 
turn you up, figure you out, I want to take you on

These words, "You will be mine," all the time,
[Pattern 1] 
The Fool might be my middle name
[Pattern 2] 
But I'd be foolish not to say
[Pattern 1] 
I'm going to make whatever it takes, ring you up, call you down, sign your
name, secret love,
[Pattern 2] 
make it rhyme, take you in, and make you mine.

What I want to feel, I want to feel it now.
[Pattern 1] 
You know with love comes strange currencies,
[Pattern 2] 
And here is my appeal:
[Pattern 1] 
I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance, a fourth chance,
a word, a signal, a nod, a little breath
[Pattern 2] 
just to fool myself, to catch myself, to make it real, real
