When I Was Your Man
Bruno MarsMars told MTV News that
"This song is about a special woman that I let slip away at one time. It's a happy ending though ... I put everything I got into that one.
"You know it's one of those things where even girls can relate to this song. That's how it works. Everyone makes mistakes," he added. "And I remember writing that and it's the simple things, the little things. Like, I should have bought you flowers; I should have just let you know when I had the chance."
Same bed but it feels
just a little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio
but it don't sound the same
When our friends talk about you,
all it does is just tear me down
'Cause my heart breaks a little
when I hear your name
It all just sounds like oooooh
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should've bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should've gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
'Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man
My pride, my ego, my needs,
and my selfish ways
Caused a good strong woman
like you to walk out my life
Now I never,
never get to clean up the mess I made, ohh
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes
It all just sounds like oooooh
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should've bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should've gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
'Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby's dancing
But she's dancing with another man
Although it hurts
I'll be the first to say that I was wrong
Oh, I know I'm probably much too late
To try and apologize for my mistakes
But I just want you to know
I hope he buys you flowers
I hope he holds your hand
Give you all his hours
When he has the chance
Take you to every party
'Cause I remember how much you loved to dance
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man
Play with the song, fill the gaps
