When You Were Mine (Prince cover) Lyrics
When you were mine
I gave you all of my money
Time after time
You done me wrong
It's just like a train
That all my friends come over and eat
You were so strange
You didn't have the decency to change those sheets
Oh, girl
When you were mine
I used to let you wear all of my clothes
You were so fine
Well, maybe that's the reason that it hurt me so
I know
That you're going with another guy
I don't care
Because I love you baby, that's no lie
I love you more than I did when you were mine
When you were mine
You were kinda sorta my best friend
So I was blind
I let you fool around
I never cared
I never was the kind to make a fuss
When he was there
Sleeping in between the two of us
I know
That you're going with another guy
I don't care
Because I love you baby, that's no lie
I love you more than I did when you were mine
When you were mine
You were all I ever wanted to do
Now I spend my time
Following him whenever he's with you
I know
That you're going with another guy
I don't care
Because I love you baby, that's no lie
I love you more than I did when you were mine
I know
That you're going with another guy
I don't care
Because I love you baby, that's no lie
I love you more than I did when you were mine
I gave you all of my money
Time after time
You done me wrong
It's just like a train
That all my friends come over and eat
You were so strange
You didn't have the decency to change those sheets
I used to let you wear all of my clothes
You were so fine
Well, maybe that's the reason that it hurt me so
I know
That you're going with another guy
I don't care
Because I love you baby, that's no lie
I love you more than I did when you were mine
You were kinda sorta my best friend
So I was blind
I let you fool around
I never cared
I never was the kind to make a fuss
When he was there
Sleeping in between the two of us
That you're going with another guy
I don't care
Because I love you baby, that's no lie
I love you more than I did when you were mine
You were all I ever wanted to do
Now I spend my time
Following him whenever he's with you
That you're going with another guy
I don't care
Because I love you baby, that's no lie
I love you more than I did when you were mine
I know
That you're going with another guy
I don't care
Because I love you baby, that's no lie
I love you more than I did when you were mine

Apparently shes a lesbian so she's talking about how much the girl meant to her but the girl did not find their relationship significant and went out with another guy even though they fooled around.
ladyanners - this is a cover song. its originally by PRINCE.
I think that Ladyanner's right, though, about what it meant originally. Prince definitely could swap clothes with a girl. Come on now.
Beautiful cover. I love love the way they just made the song their own. Wow.

It is a Prince song but Cyndi Lauper covered it as well, and they are bigger Cyndi fans so she's the main reason they covered it.
