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
I wake up for work again in our big empty bed, well ever since you've gone it's only mine. I hate work now, I can't face everyone telling me how brilliant you are and I can't do my job properly because as your boss I can't even walk into your department. I can't believe you're gone and yet it makes me smile that you're happier now. It breaks my heart but at least you're happier with Gerry and he treats you right; which is what I failed to do.
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
He turns up to work everyday with a bouquet of flowers which brightens your office and your eyes, you always said you never wanted that sort of thing but I've never seen you happier or your smile wider. Now you leave work as soon as you possibly can just to spend as much time with him as you can and I know he shows you off as much as he can because whenever I see him he's speaking about how great you are. I've even noticed the sparkle of a ring on your finger, you've moved on and well I should have; it's been years since we were together and let's face it we were together like 2 weeks and it was while you were vulnerable. You said it was the worst mistake of your life when it ended and with in a month you were with Gerry.
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
I should have left work earlier instead of finishing paperwork that could have been done earlier, I should have spoiled you with the treats you deserve. Most of all I should have put you before I put myself and that was the worst mistake of my life, it's my biggest regret. And now my biggest rival for your heart has put a ring on your finger and made you glow with the happiness you're now radiating.
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
I know I can't blame you though for leaving me and finding happiness else where, I could try to apologise to you but I don't want you to feel even a moment of hurt. I couldn't ruin your new found happiness even if I wanted to, I will forever seek comfort in the fact that the love of my life is happier than ever; even if it is with someone else.
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
He does exactly what I should of done and that hurts but at least you're happy and I'm pleased for you. I doubt I'll get an invite to your wedding but regardless I want you to know how happy I am for you Sandra. From now I'll promise to try move on and only be your boss instead of wishing I was still your man.
