I was a pretty big fan of Bruno Mars when he first came out, but I honestly don’t care much for his most recent stuff. My kids also enjoyed listening to him and we would jam pretty hard core to his first and second albums. Jaxon heard his second album before I did and he actually played this song for me because I think he knew I’d like it.
I don’t know what it is about relationships, but it seems like some people don’t realize what they have until it’s gone. This has actually happened to me at least twice and it’s pretty awkward sitting on the other side of things, listening to an apology but knowing it’s already too late. If only they’d have realized it before you moved on, right?
I’m thinking the guy singing this just might totally deserve the pain he’s enduring… When I first heard the song, I thought it was beautiful so I’m not sure why I’m being so cynical about it now. I’m thinking that it shouldn’t be so hard to apologize and admit you’re wrong at the time rather than waiting until it’s too late.
I do love Bruno’s voice, though, so I hope you enjoy!
Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now
Our song on the radio but it don’t sound the same
When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down
‘Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name
It all just sounds like ooh, ooh ooh hoo hoo
Mm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should have bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should have gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party ’cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby’s dancing
But she’s dancing with another man
My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways
Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life
Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made, oh
And it haunts me every time I close my eyes
It all just sounds like ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh
Mm, too young, too dumb to realize
That I should have bought you flowers
And held your hand
Should have gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party ’cause all you wanted to do was dance
Now my baby’s dancing
But she’s dancing with another man
Although it hurts
I’ll be the first to say that I was wrong
Oh, I know I’m probably much too late
To try and apologize for my mistakes
But I just want you to know
I hope he buys you flowers
I hope he holds your hand
Give you all his hours
When he has the chance
Take you to every party
‘Cause I remember how much you loved to dance
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man
Do all the things I should have done
When I was your man
