When I Was Your Man

    Singer: Bruno Mars

    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 have bought you flowers

    And held your hand

    Should have 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

    ...

    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

    Background:

    The public best know Bruno Mars for his light-waving piano ballads. “Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now,” he sings mournfully over haunting piano ahead of listing all the things he should have done for his other half before she dumped him. The soothing and heartfelt track was featured on the pop star’s “Unorthodox Jukebox” album.
