When You Were Mine
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In the summer of '16
Was it love or nicotine
That made us mellow on the 35
It was penny paradise, just a pretty likkle lie
And it hit me, when I saw you
Hand in hand, Coldharbour Lane
Never take it easy on the PDA
I don't miss you, least not that way
But someone better want me like that someday
Shoulder to shoulder
Smile with a Brixton shine
But you weren't that kind
When you were mine
JD & Cola
Don't even have to try
But you werеn't that guy
When you were minе
When you were mine
By the Ritzy, made to measure
I'm shook but you look good together
I had my hesitation, but I just can't hate him
You're breaking all the rules
Down Electric Avenue, Wo-ho
I've never seen two men move
Hand in hand, Coldharbour Lane
Never take it easy on the PDA
I don't miss you, least not that way
But someone better want me like that someday
Shoulder to shoulder
Smile with the Brixton shine
But you weren't that kind
When you were mine
JD & Cola
Don't even have to try
But you weren't that guy
When you were mine
When you were mine
Saw you smiling, I don't mind it
Even though we had our moments hanging by a thread
Don't mean that I could go forget
When you were mine
When you were mine
Shoulder to shoulder
Smile with the Brixton shine
But you weren't that kind
When you were mine
JD & Cola
Don't even have to try
But you weren't that guy
When you were mine
When you were mine
Wo-ho, you weren't that guy
Wo-ho, you weren't that guy
When you were mine
