Lyrics of When I Was Your Man by Bruno Mars

verse

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

pre-chorus

It all just sounds like ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize

chorus

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

verse

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
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes

pre-chorus

It all just sounds like ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize

chorus

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

bridge

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

chorus

I hope he buys you flowers
I hope he holds your hand
Give you all his hours
When he has the chance
Take 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

outro

Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man
Writer(s): Andrew Wyatt, Ari Levine, Bruno Mars, Philip Lawrence
