When You Were My Girl

When you were my girl, there were times you'd look at me

And I knew exactly how it felt to be loved

When you were my girl, I don't know if I told you

But whenever I'd hold you, it scared me so muchYou were all that I needed, you were all that I had

The one I could turn to when the world had gone mad

And I guess I just wanted

For you to know thatNot a day goes by, I don't think of you

(Do you ever think of me when you're alone)

Or I don't ask myself why

(Do you ever wonder how things could have gone)

If everything's so perfect now

(Do you ever think of me and start to cry)

Why do I cry all the time?I didn't cry

When you were my girl

When you were my girlWhen I was your man, if I took you for granted

Please understand it was my foolish heart

Girl, you were my best friend, baby, your love complete me

I loved you completely just as you areAnd if you couldn't feel that then how I regret

That I never told you all the things I should've said

But I guess that's the one chance

That I'll never getNot a day goes by, I don't think of you

(Do you ever think of me when you're alone)

Or I don't ask myself why

(Do you ever wonder how things could have gone)

If everything's so perfect now

(Do you ever think of me and start to cry)

Why do I cry all the time?I didn't cry

When you were my girl

When you were my girlAnd now I'm walking this world without you

And with every step I take

I find out every day

How much further my heart can break, oh, yeahI don't understand why

We let something so beautiful

Just fade and die

We should have triedOne more time

When you were my girl

When you were my girl
