When I Was Your Man

I saw you flitting away

out from my arms lost long ago

in another man’s world

consume in emotional infidelity

I know have lost

I wish I would have bought flower

meeting all the needs on your check list

intoxicated with materialism fading out

as I see you through it all

my baby is dancing with another man

look at her as she becomes someone else

never looking back neither wants to think twice

of her actions and decisions

think twice remember how will use to be

back then when I was your man

beclouding your mind and thought

becoming your sleeping and waking thought

all along you carried along with me

all because of the material gifts I showered on you

little wonder when you said you love me

is all because of is still meets your demand

but alas is now it seems to me you are gone

like a candle in the wind, a book that left the shelf

drifted and  blinded by the lust of money

when I was your man

see my baby is dancing with another man

as she finds comfort and warmth in his arms

blinded and blind folded with the quest of materialism

as she takes her flight far from me

when I was your man

I wish I would have bought flowers

rose so full of scented perfumes

gifts of all sorts diamond, clothes, shoes and bags

with all sorts of make-up kit and hair do

when I was your man…but you are now someone else
