You asked me if I've met your baby I have to say
It's been some time now but it seems like yesterday
He was mine for awhile we had good times we went in style
But now he's yours treat him kind yes I remember well when he was mine
[ steel ]
You say he means the world to you yes I can tell
You'll make each other happy I wish you well
He was mine for awhile...
Yes I remember well when he was mine
He was mine he was mine he was mine he was mine
