È una cover del 1983 di una canzone di Prince del 1980, quindi anche relativamente vecchia: questo credo che sia significativo, anche se sappiamo che Cyndi è un tipo artisticamente molto disinibito e colorato; nella canzone originale un uomo cantava alla sua ragazza la quale aveva un altro, ma pare che la cantante non abbia volutamente cambiato il sesso del partner per alludere invece ad una storia tra una donna ed un ragazzo omo o bisessuale - ed è nel suo stile.
Ce l'ho su un album "Best Of", ma nonostante questo non credo che sia molto conosciuta comunemente. Ho riportato il testo, cercando di fare del mio meglio tra listening comprehension e fonti in rete. Il titolo è cliccabile. Buon ascolto.
- When you were mine
I gave you all of my money
Time after time
You've done me wrong
Just like a chain
Let all my friends come over and meet
You were so strange
You didn't have the decency to change the sheets
Oh when you were mine
Used to let you wear all of my clothes
You were so fine
Baby that's the reason that it hurt me so
I know
That you're goin' with another guy
I don't care
'Cause I love you baby, that's no lie
I love you more than I did when you were mine
When you were mine
You were kind of sort of my best friend
So I was blind
I let you fool around
I never cared
I never was the kind to make a fuss
When he was there
Sleepin' in between the two of us
I know
That you're goin' with another guy
I don't care
'Cause I love you baby, that's no lie
I love you more than I did when you were mine
When you were mine
You were all I ever wanted to do
Now I spend my time
Following him whenever he's with you
I know
That you're goin' with another guy
I don't care
'Cause I love you baby, that's no lie
I love you more than I did when you were mine
