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