But You're Mine
Sonny And Cher · Other Songs - Sonny And Cher
When people say, you're not my kind
And that your clothes are out of line
And that your hair isn't combed all the time
You're not real pretty but you're mine
We have a great big old society
That won't make room for folks like you and me
But I got some real sad news for them, my friend
They're on the outside looking in
We got a great thing going and it's gonna keep right on growing
And I hope that soon they'll see the light
But until that time , they'll have to blow their mind
'Cos it ain't us that's gonna lose this fight
So when we're walking I don't care
When all those people stop and stare
If they'd look in your eyes they'd see
You're not real pretty but you belong to me
Hey, hey, hey, now
Hey, hey, hey, now
When you're lovin' me, baby
And when I hold you baby
When you kiss me, baby
When I kiss you
I know you're loving me baby
When I hold you
You know I'll never leave you
When I touch you
I know I'll always love you
Every day now
You know, I love you baby
Hey, hey, hey
You know, I love you baby
Hey, hey, hey
And that your clothes are out of line
And that your hair isn't combed all the time
You're not real pretty but you're mine
We have a great big old society
That won't make room for folks like you and me
But I got some real sad news for them, my friend
They're on the outside looking in
We got a great thing going and it's gonna keep right on growing
And I hope that soon they'll see the light
But until that time , they'll have to blow their mind
'Cos it ain't us that's gonna lose this fight
So when we're walking I don't care
When all those people stop and stare
If they'd look in your eyes they'd see
You're not real pretty but you belong to me
Hey, hey, hey, now
Hey, hey, hey, now
When you're lovin' me, baby
And when I hold you baby
When you kiss me, baby
When I kiss you
I know you're loving me baby
When I hold you
You know I'll never leave you
When I touch you
I know I'll always love you
Every day now
You know, I love you baby
Hey, hey, hey
You know, I love you baby
Hey, hey, hey
But You're Mine
Released in 1965, "But You're Mine" stands as a defining anthem of the bubblegarm pop era, recorded by Sonny and Cher. The track exemplifies the duo's signature blend of upbeat rhythms, catchy melodies, and harmonious vocals that characterized their discography. While often associated with the romantic themes found in their earlier hits like "I Got You Babe," this recording showcases a slightly more mature and confident tone, reflecting the couple's growing status as a musical powerhouse. Its enduring popularity stems from its infectious energy and the seamless chemistry between the two performers, making it a staple in collections of classic American pop music from the mid-1960s.
