"When I Was Your Man" lyrics
"When I Was Your Man"
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 oooooh…
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'll never, never get to clean up the mess I made, ohh…
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes
It all just sounds like oooooh…
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 you 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

The ballad "When I Was Your Man" is the second single from Bruno Mars' second album "Unorthodox Jukebox".
The song is described as a portrayal of his feelings, expressing hope in that the new man of his ex-girlfriend is giving her all the love he was unable to give.
In an interview at the Jonathan Ross Show, Bruno called "When I Was Your Man" the slowest song on the album. He also said that it is based on real facts from his past.
In an another interview Bruno said, "It's the most honest thing I've ever sung".
The music video "When I Was Your Man" features Bruno Mars as a "lonely balladeer". He is seen sitting at a piano, donned in a pair of sunglasses while setting a half-empty glass of whiskey on top of the piano.
In 2017,"When I Was Your Man" was one of Bruno Mars' seven singles that have reached number-one position on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
