R.E.M.

R.E.M. was an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills and drummer Bill Berry. One of the first popular alternative rock bands, R.E.M. gained early attention due to Buck's ringing, arpeggiated guitar style and Stipe's unclear vocals.

I don't know why you're mean to me
When I call on the telephone
And I don't know what you mean to me
But I wanna turn you on
Turn you up, figure you out
I wanna take you on

These words, you will be mine
These words, you will be mine, all the time
 
Now fool might be my middle name
But I'd be foolish not to say
I'm gonna make whatever it takes
Ring you up, call you down, sign your name
Secret love, make it rhyme
I take you there and make you mine

These words, you will be mine
These words, you will be mine, all the time

I tripped and fell
Did I fall?
What I want to feel
I wanna, wanna feel it now

You know with love comes strange currencies 
And here is my appeal
I need a chance, a second chance, a third chance
A fourth chance, a word, a signal
A nod, a little breath
Just to fool myself, to catch myself
And make it real

These words, you will be mine
These words, you will be mine, all the time

These words, you will be mine
These words, they haunt me, hunt me down, catch in my throat
Make me pray, to say love's confines, oh

They haunt me, hunt me down, catch in my throat
Make me pray, to say love's confines, oh
