Strange Darling (2023)

Post by bunniefuu »

(LIGHTER CLICKS)

LADY: So, I'm gonna have

to ask you a question.

(EXHALES)

Are you a serial k*ller?

(GRUNTING)

(LADY CHOKING)

(MAN READING)

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)

Love hurts

Love scars

Love wounds

And marks

Any heart

Not tough

Or strong enough

To take a lot of pain

Take a lot of pain

Love is like a cloud

Holds a lot of rain

Love hurts

Ooh, ooh love hurts

Some fools think

of happiness

Blissfulness

Togetherness

Some fools fool

themselves I guess

They're not foolin' me

Ooh, ooh love hurts

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

Strange darling

Stay darling

We will change

and mock and turn

Curiouser and curiouser

Strange darling

Strange...

RADIO HOST: ...the whereabouts

of the Velvet Emerald Cult.

Although skeptics

don't believe

it's a real thing,

it is.

But that's

for another broadcast.

Today we're gonna talk about

the chilling uncovering

of a Bigfoot family

in the forest near his property

and what Mitchell

is doing about it.

Pretty serious subject.

Let's jump right in.

Mitchell W. Mahoney, everybody.

-Mitchell, are you there?

-MITCHELL: I am. I am.

Listening with both ears.

I ain't taking no g*dd*mn...

HOST: Oh! Oh!

I must stop you there, sir.

As you know,

our number-one

rule is no bad language.

MITCHELL: Oh, sh*t.

Yeah, that's right. I'm sorry.

-Didn't mean it.

-HOST: No harm, no foul.

It's an emotional subject.

I understand. Carry on, sir.

MITCHELL: So I take

a quick shot

of Old Grand-Dad

and I go out there.

Shotgun c*ck.

And the whole time

I hear the dogs

but when I opened the door

to go outside,

it stops.

Real quick like, wild.

Hey. Hey!

(RADIO BROADCASCONTINUES INDISTINCTLY)

Can you help me? Please?

(PIANO MUSIC PLAYING)

DEMON: Here, kitty,

kitty, kitty.

MITCHELL OVER RADIO:

Which really upset me

because we were gonna

butcher it next month.

Now the whole thing's

gone away.

HOST: I can't hear that.

MITCHELL: But the worst

part was,

the grizzly nature

of the whole thing.

(INTENSE MUSIC PLAYING)

HOST: Yeah.

There you go.

It's nomenclature.

What if it attacked me?

MITCHELL: All her innards

were taken out and eaten.

Whatever it was,

it's a loose sack

of flesh and fur.

At first I thought

it would be gray.

We've had them

here before too.

HOST: Just to clarify

for our listeners,

Mitchell was just referring to

extra-terrestrial entities.

MITCHELL: Yeah.

Yeah, thanks, Art.

(RADIO BROADCASCONTINUES INDISTINCTLY)

DEMON: Here, kitty,

kitty, kitty.

(EERIE MUSIC PLAYING)

(RADIO BROADCASCONTINUES INDISTINCTLY)

(CLOCK CHIMING)

(BLOWING AIR BETWEEN TEETH)

MITCHELL OVER RADIO: ...went

to Nova Scotia in 1972,

down in Breckenridge, Colorado

in 1987.

Yet again, Moran County

back in 2013.

I'm very familiar

with the anatomy

of those things.

And even just

seeing the outline

in the moonlight,

I knew immediately

what it was.

HOST: Of course. Of course.

And was that the extent of it,

or have you continued to be...

pestered, for lack of

a better word?

MITCHELL: (LAUGHS) No. No.

They keep coming.

They've been eating my hens

one by one...

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty!

f*ck!

-(MUSIC STOPS)

-(LIGHTER CLICKS)

These aren't the same.

DEMON: Mmm-mmm. Probably better

for you, though.

Mmm... Doubt that.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

I even smoked

one of yours tonight.

But first...

A-plus.

-That's a relief.

-Yes, it is.

Do you still want to, um,

get a room?

Can we just, uh,

make out a little bit?

Yeah.

Okay.

(BOTTLES CLINKING)

(BOTTLE CAPS OPENING)

DEMON: Look, we can just...

We can just swap numbers

if you don't wanna...

Well, okay. (CHUCKLES)

You wanna get...

You wanna get digits?

Nobody gets digits anymore.

It's about the Insta.

(CLICKS TONGUE)

I guess I'm just getting old.

Well, you are.

I guess that's what I'm into.

(CHUCKLES)

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)

This is gonna sound

like bullshit, but, uh...

I don't really do this.

I mean,

I have no problem doing it.

I...

I just have to really want it.

Do you want it?

Or are you, like, about to

tell me to go f*ck myself?

-No, no, I really want it.

-(LAUGHS)

I just... I... I like...

sobered up a little bit

on the ride over

and started judging myself,

I guess.

Look, my groceries

are on one shelf.

Hers are on the other.

You know what I mean?

If I cared, I would've said

something at the bar.

And if she cared,

I wouldn't f*cking be here.

Your...

Your business

is not my business.

What this is here,

it's recreation.

And I f*cking deserve it.

Hell, yeah.

(LAUGHS) Okay.

Mmm.

It's garbage.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Mmm.

Yeah.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Ooh.

You know...

The real issue is safety.

Once I'm alone with you

in that room,

it's just us, no witnesses.

Do you have any idea

the kind of risks

a woman like me

takes every time

she agrees to have

a little bit of fun?

It's a g*dd*mn tragedy.

Men think that

we're these prudes

who don't like casual sex.

Most of us

f*cking love casual sex.

We just want to know

that m*rder

isn't gonna be served

on the side.

Jesus.

Never thought about it

that way.

Of course you haven't.

You're not a woman.

Then there's, you know,

plain old risk

of disappointment,

which is the most common, but...

violence...

That's no joke.

That's life or death.

(LADY CHUCKLES)

I think I, um...

I think I want one of those now.

(LIGHTER CLICKS)

Mmm.

You seem like a nice guy.

-You do.

-(DEMON CHUCKLES)

But you never really know.

So, I'm gonna have

to ask you a question.

Are you a serial k*ller?

(CHUCKLING) What?

I'm gonna need you

to look me in the eyes

and give me a serious answer.

No.

-No...

-No.

What?

No, I'm not...

a serial k*ller.

Okay.

(CHUCKLES) Okay.

Now can we talk about

all the things

I want you to do to me?

(LADY CHOKING)

(INTENSE MUSIC PLAYING)

(GASPING)

Harder.

(DEMON GRUNTING)

(GASPS)

Harder.

Stop. (GASPS)

Can you take these off me?

(EERIE MUSIC PLAYING)

(DEMON SIGHS)

(LADY SIGHS)

I don't know

why this isn't working.

It's your idea.

Maybe it's you.

What did you just say?

Maybe I just

don't need it with you.

Well...

Well, look, maybe it's better

that we don't need that

in the beginning.

"The beginning."

If I didn't know any better,

I'd think

you were on the verge of

asking for digits.

What are they?

Hmm.

Stop.

-Or social media?

-I'm not on social media.

See...

That makes me

really want that number.

(CHUCKLES)

This just got

really f*cking complicated.

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)

Well, aren't you eager?

Hmm?

DEMON: Hmm.

(SIGHS)

What are you doing?

Do you like that?

Stop.

Okay, baby.

-Can you just wait a minute?

-I don't want to wait.

I said I need a f*cking minute!

(HANDCUFFS RATTLING)

What are you doing?

Take these off me now.

You don't get to decide.

Yes, I do get to decide.

Just because I asked you

to cuff me at first

doesn't mean that

you don't need my permission.

-(GASPS)

-Wrong.

Get off of me, m*therf*cker!

(GRUNTS)

(GASPING)

You don't f*cking hit me!

"Please don't

f*cking hit me, sir."

From now on,

you only refer to me as sir.

Do you understand me?

Stop it!

(MUFFLED CRYING)

I'm in control.

Now here's what's gonna happen.

(WHIMPERING)

Please don't k*ll me.

(SOBBING)

First, you're gonna take

my foot in your mouth.

Toes first, all the way

to the f*cking heel.

(SCREAMS)

You don't get to make noise!

You just shut the f*ck up!

(SINISTER MUSIC PLAYING)

(SOBBING)

You're a sick woman.

Carrying around shackles

trying to get f*cked.

You know

you asked for this, right?

(CRYING) Yes.

Yes, what?

Yes, sir.

I'm gonna take my knife

and I'm gonna cut you.

From one set of lips

to the other.

-(WHIMPERS)

-Watch you bleed to death.

(SOBBING)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Mr. Snuffleupagus!

I can't believe

that you're into this.

Just relax, okay.

I don't know if I'm into it,

but I'm willing to try.

No, no, no.

I'm gonna have to believe you,

or it's gonna be a huge,

huge f*cking turn off.

I mean,

I did do a little bit of acting.

(CHUCKLES) What?

I was in a Holiday Inn Express

commercial once.

What?

(LAUGHING)

So you might actually be

good at this.

Look, hawking

the free hot breakfast

ain't the same

as slapping a woman around,

telling her you're gonna

chop her up into little pieces.

But look, I'm willing to try.

No, no,

I don't want any chopping.

I want something intimate.

Something romantic.

Like a slit throat.

Uh...

You know

you're a little f*cked up?

You know you men will do

just about anything

to get laid?

-Get the f*ck out of here.

-Huh?

Get the f*ck out of here

with that.

Don't sell me the car

and then tell me

not to drive it.

Okay, okay. But...

Don't tell me

when you're gonna turn,

you just do it.

And if I say no, you say yes.

And you push even harder.

If I'm, you know,

scared or angry.

Even f*cking crying.

I don't...

I don't like that.

Don't be a f*cking p*ssy.

Are you serious?

-(DEMON LAUGHS)

-I cannot imagine consent

being any more clear.

Okay.

All right.

(CHUCKLES)

Yes.

Pop quiz.

What's "no" mean?

Yes.

And what is the only word

in the entire English language

that actually means no

once we're alone together

in that room?

Mr. Snuffleupagus.

Mr. Snuffleupagus!

(SOBBING)

You okay?

Not really.

sh*t.

I'm so sorry.

(CRYING) How can you say

those awful things to me?

(STUTTERS, SIGHS)

f*ck! You told...

You told me to say 'em.

I thought...

(LAUGHING)

You were f*cking fantastic.

I have never been

so turned on in my life.

Mmm!

Mmm.

Then why Mr. Snuffleupagus?

(CHUCKLES)

I just needed a break.

You know, a glass of water,

maybe a cigarette, a drink.

There's no rush, right?

(EERIE MUSIC PLAYING)

(PIANO MUSIC PLAYING)

Hmm...

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

(CHUCKLES)

(BOTH LAUGHING)

(PIANO MUSIC CONTINUES)

Bon appetit.

(CUTLERY CLINKING)

Mmm.

-FREDERICK: Mmm-hmm.

-(GIGGLES)

FREDERICK: Mmm, mmm.

What do you got?

(SIGHS)

You're three ahead of me.

Looks like you've got that one

ready to go for the nose.

Stop.

I don't need you

to help me win. g*dd*mn it.

I want this thing

fair and square.

Now only two.

(GASPS)

Oh, my... (LAUGHS)

Don't get too excited.

I'm still up by one.

Not for long, f*ck.

Hey, hey!

Hey, hey! Hey!

(BANGING CONTINUES)

GENEVIEVE: That's a crazy lady.

Get the bear spray.

(MEN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY

OVER RADIO)

Can you help me? Please?

You sure it wasn't

one of 'em things

done this to you?

GENEVIEVE: Shh. (WHISPERS)

Don't say it out loud.

What things?

It's Squatchy in those woods.

We don't go too deep in 'em.

Squatchy?

-You're sure it was

a man did this to you?

-Yes.

-He was chasing me in a truck.

-A pickup truck?

Squatch can't drive

no pickup truck.

You'd be one dead shitass

if Squatch was at it.

Do you have a g*n?

We have bear spray.

I thought

mountain people had g*ns.

We ain't mountain people.

We're just old hippies.

(GROANING)

Sweetie, do you want something

for the pain? Aspirin?

How about something

a little bit stronger?

-Percocet?

-Yes.

We only have

a few of those left.

Now, don't be selfish, Mama.

You're right, Papa.

Call the cops.

Better they're on the way.

What's that?

Oh, we ain't into Scott Baio.

They give 'em away free

at the flea market.

-We take whatever they got.

-No. What's that?

-That's our Sunday breakfast.

-Do you mind?

Get in there.

Hold on.

Let me give you a chair.

-Right here. Right here.

-Okay.

FREDERICK: Old biker.

Huh?

She said we're old hippies.

I'm more of an old biker.

Got a '59 Indian

sitting in the garage.

Doesn't run anymore,

but doesn't matter.

I couldn't ride it anyway.

(HOLLOW CLUNKING)

Lost it on the bike.

Whole thing? That's heavy.

FREDERICK: Just up to the knee.

You ride one of those every day,

doesn't matter how good you are.

It doesn't matter.

GENEVIEVE: Can't find

the stronger stuff.

Where is it?

Upstairs bathroom.

GENEVIEVE: Police on the way?

FREDERICK: Yes, honey.

No.

Don't you worry one bit.

You're gonna feel

real nice soon.

I meant no police.

No, no. It's better

that we call them.

Genevieve's right.

LADY: Come on, man.

Just give it a minute, please.

FREDERICK: It's best

we let them know.

Please, man, do me this favor.

No f*cking cops.

Genevieve...

LADY: I didn't wanna do that.

I had to.

Can you just...

Can you put your

hands up, please?

Just to make us

both feel more relaxed.

(SIGHS)

This is gonna be a really

tough one for you to believe,

but I'm not gonna k*ll you.

I promise.

Sure.

I am gonna have to

tie you up, though.

All right?

All right.

What do you recommend

that's fastest?

You have some... some cuffs?

Or is there a rope or...

Or is there something

that I can put you in

and lock it from the outside?

Whatever is most comfortable

for you is fine

as long as it's fast.

Well, that's thoughtful of you.

I'm not trying

to f*ck up your day

any more than I already have.

There's a storm shelter

outside. There's...

There's some, um, chain

you can use on the handles

once I'm in.

And we even got food and such

that'll last a while.

We aren't just old hippies.

We're...

Doomsdayers.

Okay, let's go.

Do you like to party?

-(CHUCKLING) Oh, f*ck.

-(HUMMING)

It's going to be light soon.

Mmm. Come on.

Checkout's not until noon

and this stuff

gets me really f*cking horny.

It's been a long time

since I touched that stuff.

Me too.

But it's my birthday.

And...

a friend got it for me.

It's, you know,

like a special occasion

sort of thing.

Birthday, huh?

Waking up, getting lost

Making up time

Amber eyes, little lies

Setting up lines

Secret life, only mine

Mirrors and ghosts

Letting go, getting low

God only knows

Where the summer days go

The lake in Montenegro?

The hazy daze of chainsmoke

Like a little grave

in my brain

Life got too heavy

So I got too light

Balancing, manically

Tightropes and wires because

Life got too heavy

So I got too light

Vanishing, magically

I'm disappearing from sight

Into the night

Are we...

Are we gonna f*ck?

-(LADY CHUCKLES FAINTLY)

(CHUCKLES)

You know what,

I'll tell you what.

If you still can f*ck

in five minutes...

Sure.

(CHUCKLES)

I thought you said

this stuff made you horny.

Seems like it just

puts you in a bad mood.

Maybe I lied.

What is this, part of your game?

-I'm done.

-You know what?

We're done

when I say we're done,

do you understand that?

No, I don't.

I'm out of here.

I need you to get out here.

There's nothing

more than checkmate.

It either is or it isn't,

you f*cking philistine.

Why am I still alive?

You couldn't do it.

After all that.

Oh. (CLICKS TONGUE)

You're gonna be in trouble.

Yeah, well... (SNIFFS)

I'll take

a little bit of trouble

over a life sentence any day.

You want me

to call your sponsor?

Are you really

The Electric Lady?

LADY: I don't care about jail.

I just don't wanna die.

Isn't that f*cking funny?

(CHUCKLES)

Even when we know we're gonna

spend the rest of our lives

in a tiny little cage,

we will fight to stay alive.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

I always used to wonder

why people did that,

when I watched true crime shows.

Thought I'd be

like Gary Gilmore.

Who's Gary Gilmore?

He asked for the firing squad.

I thought I'd...

I'd do that...

if it came to this.

Now I just want three hots

and a cot. (CHUCKLES)

I didn't plan to do it, man.

(SIGHS)

Love...

doesn't have to be something

that develops.

The purest, most primal kind

can hit you like a wave...

In a moment...

or over the course of one night.

(VOICE TREMBLING)

I felt that for you

when you had your hand

around my throat.

Did you feel it for me?

Love hurts

Love scars

Love wounds

And marks

(EXHALES)

That's our song now.

You'll always think of me

when you hear it.

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)

Maybe.

LADY: Not...

maybe.

(SCREAMS)

God! f*ck!

(GROANS)

(UNSETTLING MUSIC PLAYING)

(MUSIC STOPS)

(SCREAMS)

(EXHALES)

(SOFT MUSIC PLAYING)

Shut your eyes

Can you hear the waves

And see the world

the way it was

And you stand

with thumbs outstretched

Looking simple,

fine and plain

Still look perfect

and blush

Stop the clock

Give me a smile

They're playing our song

But the beat is so off

And the key is wrong

You and I

weren't made for love

Get it straight

Our time won't come

I was told when I was young

No crying in the rain

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(GROANING)

(EXCLAIMING, GRUNTING)

(FLY BUZZES)

(GRUNTS, SCREAMS)

(LADY WHIMPERS)

PETE: RC!

RC, are you in here?

(CRYING)

(CONTINUES CRYING)

What the f*ck happened in here?

GALE: Maybe you shouldn't

touch him.

-PETE: I know what I'm doing.

-Okay.

(GROANS)

GALE: It's all right.

It's all right.

-He's dead.

-Yeah, no sh*t. So is he.

It's okay.

All right? Take it easy.

I'm gonna get these off.

What happened here?

What do you think happened,

Pete? Look at her!

Here we go. Okay. It's okay.

-Here we go.

-g*dd*mn it!

GALE: Take it easy.

Okay, take it easy.

There's a g*nsh*t wound

to the left shoulder.

Just take it easy, honey.

How tender is it?

Can I move it just a little

to get the cuffs off?

Wait. We need to figure out

what's going on here first.

She needs medical attention now.

That's protocol.

Protocol is that we call it in.

Leave her be,

and we wait for the EMTs

and Homicide to show up.

We both know medics

won't be here

for at least an hour.

It's okay.

I'm gonna get you out.

Okay.

(SOBBING) It was horrible.

He was coked up out of his mind.

I thought he was a nice guy.

Who was coked out of his mind?

(LADY CRYING)

-His jacket pocket.

-(GRUNTS)

It's okay, honey,

you don't need to do this now.

LADY: He brought me here.

He thought it was deserted.

And then this guy

stopped him and...

-GALE: It's okay, honey.

-(LADY GROANS)

Why is his neck like that?

She was chained to this thing

the whole f*cking time, Pete.

She fought for her f*cking life!

What else was she

supposed to do?

-f*ck! f*ck you!

-Hey, hey, hey!

-Hey, it's okay.

-Okay, okay. All right. Okay.

All right. Hey, calm down, lady.

We're gonna take care of it.

I'm going to the car

and call it in,

and then we'll wait here

for the EMTs.

The victim needs

medical attention.

Our job is to do

what we need to do

to keep her alive.

This ain't my first

jar of pickles.

And just because I have

a vag*na doesn't mean

you shouldn't listen to

a f*cking thing I have to say!

This has nothing to do

with your vag*na

and everything to do with

the diapers you were wearing

when I cleared

my first crime scene.

We don't even know

if she's a victim yet.

We need to find that out first.

That's f*cking protocol.

(GRUNTING)

You wanna be held

liable for this

or you want to help me move her?

Pete!

Okay, I'll help you move her.

GALE: It's all right, honey.

Just breathe.

(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

PETE: What the f*ck?

A lady came, she k*lled us.

Calm down, ma'am.

-She k*lled us!

-PETE: Who did what?

(g*nsh*t)

Hand over the g*ns now,

or the chick cop dies.

And trust me, honey,

I don't wanna f*cking k*ll you,

especially after

what you did for me.

God-f*cking-damnit.

You dumb b*tch.

-I oughta let her--

-Oh, no, you oughtn't,

'cause if she goes,

you go too, m*therf*cker.

I am in survival mode now.

My rules are out the window.

Honey,

just turn yourself in now...

Just shut up

and give me the g*ns.

Put it in my lap.

Pete, you keep your hands

on the wheel at all times.

If a f*cking finger moves,

I pull the trigger.

You got me?

-Yes, ma'am.

-Okay.

-Get out of the car.

-Honey...

Just turn yourself in now

and stop.

It'll end better for you.

b*tch!

I am The Electric Lady.

Boo!

Get out the f*cking car.

(DOOR OPENS)

Run, honey, into the woods.

Drive, m*therf*cker.

(PIANO MUSIC PLAYING)

PETE: Why did we stop here?

Just...

Let me think.

Okay?

Are you really

The Electric Lady?

Are you gonna k*ll me?

I'd rather not.

Why did you k*ll

all those folks?

(BREATH TREMBLING)

Sometimes...

I don't see humans.

I see devils.

(EERIE MUSIC PLAYING)

(g*nsh*t)

(g*n c*ck)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(SOFT SONG PLAYING)

(VEHICLE APPROACHING)

Hey.

Hey.

Hey!

(SOBBING)

(SOBBING)

Can you help me, please?

Oh, sweet girl! What happened?

Oh, God!

Here, let me help you get up.

-(EXCLAIMS)

-Oh! Oh, yeah?

Yeah, come on.

Here...

Let's get you in the truck.

(LADY CRYING)

Easy does it.

-You're gonna be fine.

-(SOBS)

Here, let me help you up.

(GROANS)

Okay.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)

(EERIE MUSIC PLAYING)

(g*nsh*t)

(EERIE MUSIC CONTINUES)

WOMAN: Hello?

I just shot a person.

She pulled a g*n on me

and there was

nothing else I could do.

Better the devil you know

Than the devil you don't

I'm bringing her in right now.

(ENGINE STARTS)

Over and over

I keep going under alone

Better the tether

that keeps us together

Than some distant siren

that changes the weather

Oh, better

the devil you know

Than the devil you don't

Never say never

You'll find that

you feel like a fool

Walking and walking

You follow

the light of the moon

Seems like you're moving

But time's standing still

Now it all looks familiar

I've run up that hill

And I'll do it forever

I'll dance with the devil

I will

Those white lights

Those dark nights

You say

I'll never go

Haunting is heavy

and pleasure

It weighs the most

He was the same

when he'd stay up for days

With your ghost

Better the tether

that keeps us together

I've been here before

and I'll stay here forever

Oh, better the devil you know

Than the devil you don't

Oh, better the devil you know

Than the devil you don't

Oh, better the devil you know

Than the devil

You don't

(SOFT SONG PLAYING)

Back into the blue

The honeymoon's over

Back into the blue

Take the shot

Throw the salt

over your shoulder

Did "no" mean never?

That's what your eyes

appear to say

My indecision is final

I made my bed

That's where I'll stay

Back into the blue

Obey it as it lays

Back into the blue

Day for night

It's been night for days

Don't hold my shadow

I'm just the echo

in the leaves

That it will never

come again

Is what makes life so sweet

(SOFT PIANO MUSIC PLAYING)

The daring of despair

Has led me

back to my old home

Paralyzed by patterns

on my wall

You're sitting there

before me

But I'm haunted by your ghost

Were you ever

really mine at all?

Slipping in slow motion now

We're waiting for the drop

Tempo's getting slower

It's too much

to keep this up

I just can't stop

loving you

No matter what I do

or how hard I might try

I can't let go,

I'll die inside

I just can't stop

loving you

No matter what I do

Your shadow's in my way

You follow me into the fire

Captured by the cruelty

of my touch

We're only bones

and bruises now

Sadistic, base and vile

I don't even miss myself

that much

We're toxic

but it feels so good

I'm crying through a smile

Gutting all the

ones we love

But doing it in style

I just can't stop loving you

No matter what I do

or how hard I might try

I can't let go,

I'll die inside

I just can't stop loving you

No matter what I do

Unending echoes

in a resonating shell

I'll make you sick

to get you up

To make you mine

I just can't stop loving you

No matter what I do

or how hard I might cry

I can't let go,

I'll die inside

I just can't stop loving you

No matter what I do
