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 youeverthinkof me when you're alone)
Or i don't ask myself why
(Do youeverwonder how things have gone)
If everything's so perfect now
(Do you everthink 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 youeverthinkof me when you're alone)
Or i don't ask myself why
(Do youeverwonder how things have gone)
If everything's so perfect now
(Do you everthink 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
