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 ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

♪ ♪ ♪

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

And it haunts me every time I close my eyes

It all just sounds like ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

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 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
