Lyrics for When You Were Mine

When you were mine I gave you all of my money Time after time You done me wrong It was just like a dream You let all my friends come over and meet And you were so strange You didn't have the decency to change the sheets Oh girl, when you were mine I used to let you wear all my clothes You were so fine (so fine) Maybe that's the reason that it hurt me so I know (I know) That you're going with another guy I don't care (don't care) 'Cause I love you, baby, that's no lie I love you more than I did when you were mine When you were mine You were kinda, sorta my best friend So I was blind (so blind) I let you fool around I never cared (didn't care) I never was the kind to make a fuss When he was there Sleeping in between the two of us I know (I know) That you're going with another guy I don't care (don't care) 'Cause I love you, baby, that's no lie I love you more than I did when you were mine When you were mine you were all I ever wanted to do Now I spend my time Following him whenever he's with you I know (I know) That you're going with another guy I don't care (don't care) 'Cause I love you, baby, that's no lie I love you more than I did when you were mine When you were mine, yeah, oh no Love you, baby, love you, baby When you were mine
