When You Were Mine Lyrics by Joy Crookes

Skin

2021

[Verse 1]
In the summer of '16
Was it love or nicotine
That made us mellow on the thirty-five?
It was penny paradise, just a pretty likkle lie
And it hit me when I saw you
[Pre-Chorus]
Hand in hand, Coldharbour Lane
Never take it easy on the PDA
I don't miss you, least not that way
But someone better want me like that someday
[Chorus]
Shoulder to shoulder
Smile with a Brixton shine
But you weren't that kind when you were mine
J.D. and cola
Don't even have to try
But you wеren't that guy when you werе mine
When you were mine
[Verse 2]
By the Ritzy, made to measure
I'm shook, but you look good together
I had my hesitation, but I just can't hate him
You're breaking all the rules down Electric Avenue, oh
I've never seen two men move
[Pre-Chorus]
Hand in hand, Coldharbour Lane
Never take it easy on the PDA
I don't miss you, least not that way
But someone better want me like that someday
[Chorus]
Shoulder to shoulder
Smile with the Brixton shine
But you weren't that kind when you were mine
J.D. and cola
Don't even have to try
But you weren't that guy when you were mine
When you were mine
[Bridge]
Saw you smiling, I don't mind it
Even though we had our moments hanging by a thread
Don't mean that I could go forget
When you were mine
When you were mine
[Chorus]
Shoulder to shoulder
Smile with the Brixton shine
But you weren't that kind when you were mine
J.D. and cola
Don't even have to try
But you weren't that guy when you were mine
When you were mine
[Outro]
Woah, you weren't that guy, mm-mm
You weren't that guy when you were mine
