Ne-Yo
When It Was Me (Demo)
[Intro]
Ooh-oh
Yeah, yeah
Oh-oh
Ooh, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
She's got green eyes and she's five-five
Long brown hair all down her back
A Cadillac truck, so the hell what?
What's so special about that?
She used to model, she's done some acting
So, she weighs a buck o' five
And I guess that she's alright
If perfection's what you like

[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
And I'm not jealous, no, I'm not
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
I just want everything she's got
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
You look at her so amazed
I remember way back when
You used to look at me that way
[Chorus]
Tell me, what makеs her so much better than mе?
What makes her just everything I can never be?
What makes her your every dream and fantasy?
Because I can remember when it was me

[Verse 2]
And now you don't feel the same
I remember you would shiver every time I said your name
You said nothing felt as good as when you gazed into my eyes
Now, you don't care I'm alive
How did we let the fire die?

[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
And I'm not jealous, no, I'm not
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
I just want everything she's got
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
You look at her so amazed
I remember way back when
You used to look at me that way, oh

[Chorus]
What makes her so much better than me?
What makes her just everything I can never be?
What makes her your every dream and fantasy?
Because I can remember when it was me
[Bridge]
Mmm, when it was me
What makes her so much better than me?
Because I can remember when it

[Chorus]
What makes her so much better than me?
What makes her just everything I can never be?
What makes her your every dream and fantasy?
Because I can remember when it was, oh
What makes her so much better than me?
What makes her just everything I can never be?
What makes her your every dream and fantasy?
Because I can remember when it was me

[Outro]
Mmm, when it was me
Oh yeah
When it was me
When it was me
