When I Was Your Man Ringtones

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

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 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 And then today I'll be keeping out your way Every debt they owe I pay They 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

"Floating above you Beyond the naked eye Blue dreams about you Keep playing in my mind Oh if I was Oh if I was your man Oh if I was Oh if I was your man I'm just a satellite So lazy in the breeze Ready to fly away, I need your gravity When I run down the path The turns look all the same And if I lose my way Your mind will call my name Oh if I was Oh if I was your man Oh if I was Oh if I was your man Let's go outside to a dark place Where the kitty cat hides Put on your fake wings Give the moon a ride When you're lonely for the angel inside 3: 30 in the morning is too easy for you But when it comes without a warning What are you gonna do this time? You gonna do this time? Floating above you Beyond the naked eye Blue dreams about you Comes rushing through my mind Branded with thoughts of you They're tattooed on my sou; Why don't they seem to fade Is what I'll never know Oh if I was Oh if I was your man Oh if I was Oh if I was your man Oh if I was Oh if I was your man "

Rooms were so much colder then My father was a soldier then And times were very hard When I was young When I was young I smoked my first cigarette at ten And for girls I had a that yen And I had quite a ball When I was young When I was young it was more important Pain more painful and laughter not louder, yeah When I was young When I was young I met my first love at thirteen She was brown and I was pretty green And I learned quite a lot When I was young When I was young When I was young it was more important Pain more painful and laughter not louder, yeah When I was young When I was young My faith was so much stronger then I believed in fellow men And I was so much older then When I was young When I was young When I was young When I was young When I was young When I was young When I was young

It seems the love I've known has always been The most destructive kind I guess that's why now I feel so old Before my time Yesterday when I was young The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue I teased at life as if it were a foolish game The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned I always built to last on weak and shifting sand I lived by night and shunned the naked light of the day And only now I see how the years ran away Yesterday when I was young So many happy songs were waiting to be sung So many wild pleasures lay in store for me And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out I never stopped to think what life was all about And every conversation I can now recall Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all Yesterday the moon was blue And every crazy day brought something new to do I used my magic age as if it were a wand And never saw the waste and the emptiness beyond The game of love I played with arrogance and pride And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away And only I am left on stage to end the play There are so many songs in me that won't be sung I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue The time has come for me to pay For yesterday when I was young

Well I remember when I was Young the World had just begun and I was Happy I used to wonder about the Earth and how it moved around the Sun so Snappy Imagination goin wild makes a very backward child they told me So back at school Id sit around just waitin for the Sound so I could go Home Sometimes I think about it It happens every day I should think of the Present cause the Present Now Well I remember when I was young how one and Thripence got ya to the Movies To look Tough we'd Lite a Smoke and very nearly Choke but we had a real good time Growin older Meant you get to fly a saber Jet and fight a few wars So id just sit there all day and let my mind decay somethin awful Sometimes I think about it It happens every day I should think of the Present cause the Present Now Well I remember when I was Young I had a secret love who never knew it Well id do tricks upon my bike that never turned out right I allways blew it And the day we had to part I had a broken heart but couldnt let on So I spent my Holidays just thinkin of the ways I must be goin Wrong Sometimes I think about it It happens every day I should think of the Present cause the Present Now SOLO Well I remember when I was young the Beatles turned me on I really blew my mind And we'd carry Jack and Pam we'd go and watch a band and have a real good time Then I heard the Blackmans blues they really blew a fuse inside my head So with some friends we made a stand and Formed our first Blues Band it was a real good thing Sometimes I think about it It happens every day I should think of the Present cause the Present Now Well I remember when I was Young Well I remember when I was Young I Surely do Well I remember when I was Young Well I remember when I was Young I Surely do

I woke up today surrounded by blackness The small morning sun devoured the process It's always been fun when I get a bit nervous And it's hard to say but I feel a bit weightless The more I admit I feel a bit anxious The more I go on the less I can face this And those rotten things that live in our shadow We walk on the line of death and the gallows And hope that we clear a path we can follow It's the worst damn day (It doesn't hurt that much) Of my life I made a mess today (It doesn't hurt that much) I'm alright (It doesn't hurt that much) When I was young the world it was smaller The cities were vast the buildings were taller I felt really strong my parents seemed stronger But life has a way it showers with greatness Then takes it away those pieces that made us Then teaches you things you'd never imagine We all get the same the memories the burdens The pictures we made they still form a pattern They cautiously say "Does it all matter?" It's the worst damn day (It doesn't hurt that much) Of my life I made a mess today (It doesn't hurt that much) I'm alright (It doesn't hurt that much) It's the worst damn day (It doesn't hurt that much) Of my life I made a mess today (It doesn't hurt that much) I'm alright It's the worst damn day (It doesn't hurt that much) Of my life I made a mess today (It doesn't hurt that much) I'm alright (It doesn't hurt that much) It's the worst damn day (It doesn't hurt that much) Of my life I made a mess today (It doesn't hurt that much) I'm alright

I'm not on an ego trip i'm nothing on my own i made mistakes i often slip Just common flesh and bones But i'll prove someday just why i say I'm of a special kind For when he was on the cross I was on his mind. The look of love was on his face Thrones were on his head The blood was on his scarlet robe Stained a crimson red Though his eyes were on the crowd that day He looked ahead in time For when he was on the cross I was on his mind. He knew me, yet he loved me He whose glory makes the heavens shine So unworthy of such mercy Yet when he was on the cross I was on his mind. Yet when he was on the cross I was on his mind.

Yesterday, when I was young The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue A tease of life as if it were a foolish game The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned I always built to last on weak and shifting sand I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day And only now I see how the years ran away Yesterday, when I was young So many happy songs were waiting to be sung So many wild pleasures lay in store for me And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out I never stopped to think what life was all about And every conversation I can now recall Concerned itself with me, and nothing else at all Yesterday, the moon was blue And every crazy day brought something new to do I used my magic age as if it were a wand I never saw the waste and emptiness beyond The game of love I played with arrogance and pride And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died The friends I made all seemed, somehow, to drift away And only I am left on stage to end the play There are so many songs in me that won't be sung I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue The time has come for me to pay for yesterday When I was young

Yesterday, when I was young The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue I teased at life as if it were a foolish game The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame. The thousand dreams I dreamed, The splendid things I planned I always built, alas, on weak and shifting sand I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day And only now I see how the years ran away. Yesterday, when I was young. So many lovely songs were waiting to be sung. So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see. I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out I never stopped to think what life was all about And every conversation I can now recall Concerned itself with me, and nothing else at all. Yesterday, the moon was blue And every crazy day brought something new to do I used my magic age as if it were a wand And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond. The game of love I played with arrogance and pride And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died, The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away And only I am left on stage to end the play. There are so many songs in me that won't be sung I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue, The time has come for me to pay for yesterday ... when I was young. Yesterday, when I was young. So many lovely songs were waiting to be sung. So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see.

He is clean, but not too clean His breath fresh, but not too fresh These are the results of a shower without soap And just one pellet of gum He carefully returns his second phone to his refuge beneath the front room floor Gently flattens the rug on top And strips down to his underwear He finds his wallet Filled with the credit cards he hasn't used And lays it on the kitchen counter in its familiar place To be found in the morning by a curious consort Like fiends, we rise from the tomb of love It's the curse of fools to be secure We are sportsmen, we are conquerors The day is disease and night the cure He never uses names That's too dangerous He calls them baby and sweet cheeks and hot stuff and darling And he's a master of the feigned surprise A doyen of deception Sometimes he wonders if he could have been on the telly He really is that good Like fiends, we rise from the tomb of love It's the curse of fools to be secure We are sportsmen, we are conquerors The day is disease and night the cure He knows the quiet floorboards Knows exactly where to tread Even in this state, his muscle has memory He's a tiptoeing Travolta, a minging Michael Jackson Lighting up the timbers underfoot And as he silently approaches the bedroom door He wonders, as always If maybe he's getting too old for this But, as always, he concludes "Well, Mick Jagger does it And he's older than me"
