When You Used to Be Mine Songtext
von Curtis Mayfield

It′s been such a long time
Since I've met with you, you, you
You were in love, all tied up
And wanted to see it through
Was once all like a dream
Used to be a part of your life, maybe all your life
You′re runnin' in and out, my heart begin to shout
I feel it cryin' out and cryin′ out
Just take me on back
To another sweet era of time
Start a new beginnin′, make a happy endin'
When baby, you used to be mine
But you′re a spoiled sexy mama
Lovin' a habit that′s hard to break
We're tryin′ to get over, don't know what it's gonna to take
Could it be just too late?
Little bit older
Maybe a little bit a wiser now
Still you can fall in the same
I just kinda get weak somehow


Just take me on back
To another sweet, sweet era of time
Start a new beginnin′ and make a happy endin′
When you used to be mine
Been such a long time
Since I've met with you, you, you
You were in love, all tied up
And wanted to see it through
Was once all like a dream
To be a part of your life
You keep runnin′ in and out, my heart begin to shout
I can feel it cryin' out, cryin′ out
To take me on back
To another sweet era of time
Start a new beginnin' and make us a happy endin′
Baby, you used to be mine
Baby, when you used to be mine
Baby, when you used to be mine
Baby, when you used to be mine
Baby, when you used to be mine
