I’m going down to the station
Look around one last time
Where I stood with my heart racin’
Back when he was mine
Come to find out love ain’t like in the movies
I don’t wake up with my lipstick on
He turned me around then he looked right through me
And he was gone
CHORUS
I know that you’re comin’ tomorrow
And I know we're gonna be just fine
Sometimes I wish I could borrow
Just one minute from back when he was mine
VERSE2
I always knew just where I could find him
He’d be jumpin into the fire from the fryin’ pan
You’ll be sittin’ in church on Sunday
Working so hard trying to be a better man
CHORUS:
I know that you’re comin’ tomorrow
And I know I’m gonna be just fine
Sometimes I wish I could borrow
Just one minute from back when he was mine
BRIDGE:
He was everything he shouldn’t be
I was only 23
But I just can’t taste the wine
Like I did when he was mine
CHORUS:
I know there’s always tomorrow
I know I’ll see him down the line
But sometimes I wish I could borrow
Just one second from back when he was mine
Just one minute from back when he was mine
When he was mine
