Verse 1
Now she's dancing with somebody else
Taking swings at my ego
Telling me I'm not good enough
For her
Chorus
And all I can do is wonder
When I was your man
Did you ever stop to think
What it's like to be me?
Did you ever stop to think
That you might be the reason
I'm so messed up?
Verse 2
Now I'm sitting here alone
Drinking away my sorrows
Trying to forget about you
But I can't
Chorus
And all I can do is wonder
When I was your man
Did you ever stop to think
What it's like to be me?
Did you ever stop to think
That you might be the reason
I'm so messed up?
Bridge
I should've bought you flowers
And held your hand
Given you all my hours
When I had the chance
To take you to every party
'Cause all you wanted to do was dance
Chorus
But now my baby's dancing
With somebody else
Taking swings at my ego
Telling me I'm not good enough
For her
Outro
And all I can do is wonder
When I was your man
Did you ever stop to think
What it's like to be me?
Did you ever stop to think
That you might be the reason
I'm so messed up?
