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  '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    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
