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 me

She 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 mine

How 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 anymore

She 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 mine

It took a while to see all that she has to be

Someone who faithfully just stays in love with me, yeah, oh

She 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 mine

She 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
