When u were mine
I gave you all of my money
Time after time
U done me wrong
'Cause, just like a train
U let all my friends come over and eat
And you were so strange
U didn't have the decency to change the sheets
Oh, girl, when u were mine
I use to let u wear all my clothes
U were so fine
Maybe thats the reason that it hurt me so
I know, that you're goin with another guy
But I don't care, cause I love u baby that's no lie
Love u more than I did when u were mine
When u were mine
U were kindasorta my best friend
So I was blind
I let u fool around
I never cared
I never was the kind to make a fuss
When he was there
Sleepin in between the two of us
I know, that you're goin with another guy
But I don't care, cause I love u baby that's no lie
Love u more than I did when u were mine
When you were mine
U were all I ever wanted to do
Now I spend my time
Following him whenever he's with you
I know, that you're goin with another guy
But I don't care, cause I love u baby that's no lie
Love u more than I did when u were mine
