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 you...ever...think..of me when you're alone)

Or i don't ask myself why

(Do you...ever...wonder how things 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 i'll never get



[Chorus:]

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 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



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
