when you were mine

when you were mine
i gave you all of my money
time after time
you done me wrong
just like a train
you let all my friends come over and eat
you were so strange
you didn't have the decency
to change the sheets
when you were mine
i used to let you wear all my clothes
you were so fine
maybe that's the reason
why it hurts me so
i know 
that girl is taking up your time
i don't care 
`cuz i love you, baby, that's no lie
i love you more than i did
when you were mine
when you were mine
mmm, you were sorta my best friend
so i was blind
i let you fool around
mmm, yeah
i never cared
i never was the kind to make a fuss
when she was there
sleeping in between the two of us
and i know
that girl is taking up your time
but i don't care
cuz 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
i spent my time
following him whenever she's with you
and i know (i know)
that girl is taking up your time
but i don't care
cuz i love you, baby, that's no lie
mmm, i love you more that i did
when you were mine
that girl is taking up your time
but i don't care
cuz i love you, baby, that's no lie
i love you more than i did
when you were mine, yeah, yeah, yeah,
when you were mine
when you were mine
