In the summer of '16
Was it love or nicotine?
That made us mellow on the 35
It was penny paradise
Just a pretty likkle lie
And it hit me when I saw you
Hand in hand, Coldharbour Lane
Never take it easy on the PDA
I don't miss you, least not that way
But someone better want me like that someday
Shoulder to shoulder
Smile with a Brixton shine
But you weren't that guy
When you were mine
J.D. and cola
Don't even have to try
But you weren't that guy
When you were mine
When you were mine
By the Ritz, seem made to measure
I'm shook but you look good together
I had my hesitation
But I just can't hate them
You're breaking all the rules down Electric Avenue
Oh, I never seem to make the move
Hand in hand, Coldharbour Lane
Never take it easy on the PDA
I don't miss you, least not that way
But someone better want me like that someday
Shoulder to shoulder
Smile with a Brixton shine
But you weren't that guy
When you were mine
J.D. and cola
Don't even have to try
But you weren't that guy
When you were mine
When you were mine
Saw you smiling
I don't mind it
Even though we had our moments hanging by a thread
Don't mean that I could go forget
When you were mine
When you were mine
Shoulder to shoulder
Smile with a Brixton shine
But you weren't that guy
When you were mine
J.D. and cola
Don't even have to try
But you weren't that guy
When you were mine
When you were mine
Whoa, you weren't that guy
Mmm
You weren't that guy
When you were mine
Was it love or nicotine?
That made us mellow on the 35
It was penny paradise
Just a pretty likkle lie
And it hit me when I saw you
Hand in hand, Coldharbour Lane
Never take it easy on the PDA
I don't miss you, least not that way
But someone better want me like that someday
Shoulder to shoulder
Smile with a Brixton shine
But you weren't that guy
When you were mine
J.D. and cola
Don't even have to try
But you weren't that guy
When you were mine
When you were mine
By the Ritz, seem made to measure
I'm shook but you look good together
I had my hesitation
But I just can't hate them
You're breaking all the rules down Electric Avenue
Oh, I never seem to make the move
Hand in hand, Coldharbour Lane
Never take it easy on the PDA
I don't miss you, least not that way
But someone better want me like that someday

When you were mine

You weren't that guy
When you were mine
