You carry the load all on your own Took care of the house when I was on the road You gave me money to pay on my telephone You always treated like a queen up on a throne You helped me out you were nice to my friends You took my mama out to dinner paid the bill in the end You were there for me when I needed you You were there for me when I needed you [Chorus:] By you, I mean me By you, I mean me By you, I mean me I was the who tried my best to keep it strong By you, I mean me Wouldn't you agree [Verse 2:] You laughed at my jokes when they weren't even funny You never slept around when I didn't give you honey You waited all night while I stayed out late Drinking whiskey with the fellas and you never complained You made me a key to your house one day Even wrote me a song from a little café You were there for me When I needed you When I needed you [Chorus] [Vamp:] (4x) Remember when you left the flowers by my door (That was me) Remember when you wanted more I gave you more (That was me) Baby, maybe it's time that you will see Just why I let you go free I never wept when I wanted to cry I didn't wanna say goodbye Don't you remember Ooh, don't you remember yeah
