Make Him Mine Lyrics – Maria Friedman



Soundtrack Album: The Witches of Eastwick
Make Him Mine Text
Sukie-

If I could ask, if I could choose what sort of man might fill the shoes
I'd like to find inside my door...

Alex-

What man might fill those Tom McAnns?

Jane-

What would I ask?

Alex-

Yes, what indeed?

Jane-

What would I dare?

Sukie-

What would I dare?

Alex-

I'd ask the moon

Jane-

I'd ask the moon

Sukie-

I'd ask

All-

If I thought the moon would care

Alex-

Alright- if we're going to do this, we're going to do this right!
I close my eyes and I see him there

Jane and Sukie-

Everything I dreamed of

Alex-

Warm, attentive

Jane-

Smooth, successful

Sukie-

Stalwart and strong!

All-

I close my eyes and its past compare

Alex-

Everything I hoped for

Jane-

Everything I pictured

Sukie-

Everything I wanted

All-

All along! Make him mine! Make him mine! Make him handsome as the devil,
yet perfectly divine. Make him mine- the ultimate companion, the ideal
design; all manner of man in one man- make him mine!
I close my eyes and I see him there- a stranger at the doorstep

Alex-

Dark, enchanted

Jane-

Filled with secrets

Sukie-

Frightened to feel

All-

I close my eyes and my heart's laid bare

Alex-

Everything I hoped for

Jane-

Everything I pictured

Sukie-

Everything I wanted

All-

And it all seems so real!

Jane-

I see him there

All-

There he is- pure perfection! Down to the core, a sight to see-
very handsome, yes, but so much more. Someone to touch, someone to talk to

Sukie-

A tower of strength

Jane-

A man of means

Alex-

Who likes to read

Sukie-

With calloused hands

Jane-

Who wears a suit

Alex-

Who likes to paint

Sukie-

Who works the land

Jane-

Who runs an office

Alex-

A gentle soul

Sukie-

A man of war

Jane-

Smooth and fair

Alex-

A mass of hair

All-

That's all I'm asking for- make him mine! Make him mine!
Make him brilliant as a diamond and beautiful as gold.
let all our many wished conjoin and combine-
all manner of man in one man; make him mine!

Alex-

I think the words...

Jane-

I speak the thought...

Sukie-

The moon shines bright

Alex-

The night grows hot

Jane and Sukie-

Let the heavens

All-

Give us all they've got. All manner of man in one man- make him mine!
All mine! Make him mine!

Lyrics Meaning

Make Him Mine is a playful and spellbinding number from *The Witches of Eastwick*, where the three central characters—Alex, Jane, and Sukie—conjure up their ideal man. Each woman voices her own dreams and desires, mixing humor and passion in their visions of a perfect partner. This song captures both their yearning for love and their determination to manifest someone who fulfills every desire. The lyrics outline an almost magical shopping list of traits, from being “handsome as the devil” to “smooth, successful, stalwart, and strong.” The characters mix traditional and modern qualities, desiring someone who is simultaneously rugged and refined, tough and gentle, and educated but earthy. Their wishful chant, “Make him mine!” embodies their collective desire for a love that feels both powerful and unique. The line, “All manner of man in one man—make him mine!” emphasizes an impossible but enticing fantasy of love that fulfills every possible need. This song humorously illustrates the gap between dreams and reality, underscoring a theme often explored in the show: the search for perfection and its consequences. The whimsical yet intense desires expressed by each character reflect a mix of innocence, hope, and frustration with the limitations of real relationships. Together, they create a spell to draw forth a man of “pure perfection,” someone embodying their combined ideals and, perhaps, filling an emptiness each woman feels.
