Could've tripped out easy a-but I've a-changed my ways.
It did took time, I know it but in a while,You're gonna be mine
and I know it,
we'll do it in style.'Cause I made my mind up
you're going to be mine,I'll tell you right now.Any trick in the book now, baby, all that I can find,Superman and Green Lantern ain't got
a-nothin' on me,I can make like a turtle and dive for your pearls in the sea,
A you-you-you can just sit there thinking on your velvet throne, yeah!'bout all the rainbows that-you can a-have for your own.'Cause I made my mind up
you're going to be mine,I'll tell you right now.Any trick in the book now, baby, all that I can find.Everybody's hustlin' just to have a little scene,When I say we'll be cool I think that you know what I mean.We stood on a beach at sunset,
do you remember when? (...)I mean a beach where, baby,

I'll pick up your hand slowly, blow your little mind...Donovan (Donovan Phillips Leitch, born May 10, 1946, in Maryhill, Glasgow), is a Scottish singer-songwriter and guitarist. Emerging from the British folk scene, he developed an eclectic and distinctive style that blended folk, jazz, pop, psychedelia, and world music. Donovan came to fame in the United Kingdom in early 1965 with a series of live performances on the pop TV series, Ready Steady Go!, and his popularity spread to the USA and other countries. After signing with the British label, Pye Records in 1965, he recorded a handful of singles and two albums in the folk music vein. After getting out from his original management contract, he began a long and successful collaboration with leading independent record producer Mickie Most, scoring a string of hits in the UK, the USA, Australia and other countries, including several British and American #1 hits and million-selling records.Donovan was one of the most popular British recording artists of his day, producing a series of hit albums and singles between 1965 and 1970. He became a friend of leading pop musicians including Joan Baez, Brian Jones, Bruce Springsteen, and The Beatles, and was one of the few artists to collaborate on songs with the Beatles. He influenced both John Lennon and Paul McCartney when he taught them his finger-picking guitar style in 1968.[1] Donovan's commercial fortunes waned after he parted ways with Mickie Most in 1969, and he left the music industry for a time.He continued to perform and record sporadically in the 1970s and 1980s, but gradually fell from favour. His gentle musical style and hippie image was scorned by critics, especially after the advent of punk rock. Donovan withdrew from performing and recording several times during his career, but he underwent a strong revival in the 1990s with the emergence of the rave scene in Britain. Late in the decade, he recorded a successful album with producer and long-time fan Rick Rubin and released a new album, Beat Cafe, in 2004.
