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 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 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 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 That I'll never get 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 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 When you were my girl
