Michael crawford she used to be mine lyrics

I understand there's nothing I can do

I can't be what she needs as long as she needs you

If you're the one she'll turn to from now on

There are things that you should know 

About her when I'm gone



She's not as brave as she might seem

And when she's had a scary dream

If you don't hold her she won't sleep all night

She's not as strong as she should be

She crys at movies on TV

And counts on you to see that things go right



But she's a chance to make your dreams come true

To have someone who thinks there's nothing you can't do

A chance to live each day 

And care the way you always knew you could

Take care of her for me

She used to be mine



She's not her best on rainy days

She'll test your love a hundred ways

She plays with your emotions like a song

She chases dreams that can't come true

And always tries too hard for you

And never knows just how to say she's wrong



But she's the chance to make your life complete

A chance to take these lonely days and make them sweet

A chance to feel so good 

That everyone will wish they could be you

Take care of her for me

She used to mine



She'll never leave you anytime alone

She needs more time and tenderness 

Than anyone you've known



But she's a chance you'll never have again

A chance that always seems to come to other men

A chance I can't forget

A chance that I somehow let slip away

Take care of her for me

She used to be mine...
