Im Yours by Jason Mraz is a song about love and surrendering to it. Mraz worked on the song for several years before finally releasing it in 2008 on his album We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. It quickly became a hit, breaking the record for most weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was inspired by a trip to Uganda in 2008, where Mraz was moved by the universality of music and human connection.
Well you done done me in; you bet I felt it I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted I fell right through the cracks And now I'm tryin' to get back Before the cool done run out, I'll be givin it my bestest and nothin's gonna stop me but divine intervention I reckon it's again my turn To win some or learn some
But I won't hesitate No more, no more It cannot wait; I'm yours
Well, open up your mind and see like me Open up your plans and damn you're free Look into your heart and you'll find love, love, love, love Listen to the music of the moment, people dance and sing, we're just one big family And it's our god-forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved, loved
So I won't hesitate No more, no more It cannot wait, I'm sure There's no need to complicate Our time is short This is our fate, I'm yours
Doo do do doo doo do, doo do doo do doo do Do you want to come on, scooch on over closer, dear And I will nibble your ear
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer But my breath fogged up the glass And so I drew a new face and I laughed I guess what I'll be saying is there ain't no better reason To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons It's what we aim to do Our name is our virtue
But I won't hesitate No more, no more It cannot wait; I'm yours Well, open up your mind and see like me Open up your plans and damn you're free Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours So please don't, please don't, please don't There's no need to complicate 'Cause our time is short This oh, this oh, this is our fate I'm yours
