ALISON MOYET - When I Was Your Girl lyrics

rate me

When I was your girl

I didn't know that I would end where you begin

More beautiful in your skin

No matter of regret

This loosening curl, teasing you out

When I was your girl

In my room

You said we'll stay here for an endless year

Close the door we're letting no one near

When I was your girl!

When I was your girl!

Chorus:

And then today, all the nightmares came my way

All the tears I tried to stay

You were never satisfied

When I was your girl!

When I was your girl!

And when I was she

I'd put on every coat to wear the weather down,

But even in the sun

You said you tasted rain

I watched you unfurl

You held on to me

When I was your girl!

In my cups

I see you watching from the edge of the bed

I'm sinking words that you never said

When I was your girl!

When I was your girl!

Chorus:

And then today, all the nightmares came my way

All the tears I tried to stay

You were never satisfied

When I was your girl!

When I was your girl!

We tore out a page

Impolitely quit the stage

Into corners sweep our rage

I would never leave you crying

When I was your girl!

When I was your girl!

When I was your girl!
