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 much You 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 that (Chorus) Not 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 girl When 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 completed me I loved you completely, just as you are And 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 one chance that I'll never get (Chorus) And 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 yeah I don't understand why We let something so beautiful Just fade and die We should have tried One more time When you were my girl
