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 scred me so much [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 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 complete 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 the one chance i'll never get [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 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 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 When you were my girl
