The Way He Was When He Was Mine

You say he’s all but perfect
He fulfills your every need
He’s always sweet and loving
And you just can’t believe
How anyone could ever let him go
But, girl, just give him time
Prince Charming soon will be a toad
The way he was when he was mine

He’ll forget to say I love you
Then he’ll forget to come back home
He’ll hurry to another room
To whisper on the phone
He’ll tell you that you’re crazy
When you catch him in a lie
He’ll be cheating, no-good, lazy
The way he was when he was mine

Those flowers and cards he send you
Well soon they’re gonna stop
You’ll be sitting up all night long
Just staring at the clock
You think you’re gonna change hime
But girl you’re gonna find
That cheating’s just his way of life
And that’s why he’s no longer mine

He forgets to say I love you,
Then he forget to come back home
He hurries to another room
And whispers on the phone
He tells you that you’re crazy
When you catch him in a lie
He’s cheating, no-good, lazy
That’s the way he was when he was mine

Well, girl I’ve been right where you’re at
And I’ve cried those same tears
All I can say is don’t be like me
And go on wasting years

Where he forgets to say I love you,
Then he forget to come back home
He hurries to another room
And whispers on the phone
He tells you that you’re crazy
When you catch him in a lie
He’s cheating, no-good, lazy
That’s the way he was when he was mine

So don’t think you’re gonna change
His cheating way of life
He’s no-good, low down, lazy
The way he was when he was mine
