- When You Were Mine Lyrics / with translationsI dare ya 2 sit down on this one
1, 2, 3, ah!
G.W. turn the lights on!
When U were mine
I gave U all of my money
Time after time
U done me wrong
Just like a train
U let all my friends come over and eat
U were so strange
Didn't have the decency 2 change the sheets
Oh honey, when U were mine
I used 2 let U wear all my clothes
U were so fine (So fine)
Maybe that's the reason that it hurt me so
I know (I know) that U're going with another guy
Where's my background?
I don't care (don't care) I love U, baby, that's no lie, that's no
Love U more than I did when U were mine
Renato, gimme that old time solo
When U were mine
U were all I ever wanted 2 do
Now I spend my time
Following him whenever he's with U
I know (I know) that U're going with another guy
I don't care (don't care) I love U, baby, baby, that's no lie, no no
Love U more than I did when U were mine
When U were mine, yeah
Can I play my guitar a little bit?
1, 2, 3, ah!
G.W. turn the lights on!
When U were mine
I gave U all of my money
Time after time
U done me wrong
Just like a train
U let all my friends come over and eat
U were so strange
Didn't have the decency 2 change the sheets
Oh honey, when U were mine
I used 2 let U wear all my clothes
U were so fine (So fine)
Maybe that's the reason that it hurt me so
I know (I know) that U're going with another guy
Where's my background?
Love U more than I did when U were mine
Renato, gimme that old time solo
When U were mine
U were all I ever wanted 2 do
Now I spend my time
Following him whenever he's with U
I know (I know) that U're going with another guy
I don't care (don't care) I love U, baby, baby, that's no lie, no no
Love U more than I did when U were mine
When U were mine, yeah
Can I play my guitar a little bit?
