When I Was Your Man (Female Version When You Were My Man)

(album: The Covers, Vol. 5 - 2013)

Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio but it don't sound the same
When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down
Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name

It all just sounds like oooooh…
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize

That you should have bought me flowers
And held my hand
Should have gave me all your hours
When you had the chance
Take me to every party
Cause all I wanted to do was dance
But now baby I'm dancing
But I'm dancing with another man

your pride, your ego, your needs, and your selfish ways
Caused a nice young love like me to walk out your life
Now we'll never, never get to clean up the mess we made
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes

It all just sounds like oooooh…
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize

That you should have bought me flowers
And held my hand
Should have gave me all your hours
When you had the chance
Take me to all the parties
Cause all I wanted to do was dance
But now baby I'm dancing
But I'm dancing with another man

Though it hurts
I'll be the first to say I was wrong
Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
To try and apologize for the mistakes
But I just want you to know

He buys me flowers
And he holds my hand
And he gives me all his hours
Cause he has the chance
Takes me to all the parties
Cause he remembers how much I love to dance
Does all the things you shoulda done when you were my man

Does all the things you shoulda done when you were my man
