My pride, my ego, my needs and my selfish ways

’Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life.

And it haunts me every time I close my eyes.

   It all just sounds like ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

   Mm, too young, too dumb to realize

Chorus

     That I should have bought you flowers and held your hand,

     Should have 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.

   To try and apologize for my mistakes,

               G

Chorus

     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.
