Curtis Mayfield

When You Used to Be Mine

It's been such a long time

Since I've met with you, you, you

You were in love, all tied up

And wanted to see it through

Was once all like a dream

Used to be a part of your life, maybe all your life

You're runnin' in and out, my heart begin to shout

I feel it cryin' out and cryin' out

Just take me on back

To another sweet era of time

Start a new beginnin', make a happy endin'

When baby, you used to be mine

But you're a spoiled sexy mama

Lovin' a habit that's hard to break

We're tryin' to get over, don't know what it's gonna to take

Could it be just too late?

Little bit older

Maybe a little bit a wiser now

Still you can fall in the same

I just kinda get weak somehow

Just take me on back

To another sweet, sweet era of time

Start a new beginnin' and make a happy endin'

When you used to be mine

Been such a long time

Since I've met with you, you, you

You were in love, all tied up

And wanted to see it through

Was once all like a dream

To be a part of your life

You keep runnin' in and out, my heart begin to shout

I can feel it cryin' out, cryin' out

To take me on back

To another sweet era of time

Start a new beginnin' and make us a happy endin'

Baby, you used to be mine

Baby, when you used to be mine

Baby, when you used to be mine

Baby, when you used to be mine

Baby, when you used to be mine
