"Used to Be Mine"

If only I could just convince you
to take the good forget the bad
to overlook what you already knew
I'm so good at that
If I just had those tools to work with
to put perspective in your eyes
it'd change your view on what's right in front of you
if you had ever left me behind

ooh if only you used to be mine
ooh if only you used to be mine
oh, I know I could get you back
without even half trying

but I've only just clapped eyes on you
a standing ovation! whistle, applaud
I know if you gave me a first and second chance
you'd come back again for third and fourth
but how do I get that hook across to you?
to keep you coming back, no matter how wrong
my mouth is at a loss to introduce
all the things you would look back fondly on

ooh if only you used to be mine
ooh if only you used to be mine
oh, I know I could get you back
without even half trying
