I wrote it down when I was only a young boy of seventeen
A long list of what true love means
Now I'm here on the wrong side of lonely here
'Cause I never really knew what really matters to meShe don't have to be rich, she don't have to be wild
She don't have to be seen in the latest style
I don't care if she's tough or just a little bit shy
Either one would be fine, she just has to be mineHow could I been so foolish?
Right there in black and white, my future Mrs.Right
Hey, I barely scratched the surface
But that's not what I'm looking for anymoreShe don't have to be rich, she don't have to be wild
She don't have to be seen in the latest style
I don't care if she's tough or just a little bit shy
Either one would be fine, she just has to be mineIt took a while to see all that she has to be
Someone who faithfully just stays in love with me, yeah, ohShe don't have to be rich, she don't have to be wild
She don't have to be seen in the latest style
I don't care if she's tough or just a little bit shy
Either one would be fine, she just has to be mineShe don't have to be rich, she don't have to be wild
She don't have to be strong, she just has to be mine
She don't have to be hip or drink the finest wine
She don't have to be tough, she just has to be mine
