lyrics
Let's go back, back in time
Back when you used to be mine
Back before you found a new guy
Back before I made you cry
Back then you used to hit my line
Thought we'd last till the end of time, sigh
Wish I could press rewind
Funk upon a time
You used to be mine
Funk upon a time
You used to be mine
Since you got yourself a new man
You don't even say hi
Make up your mind
This is your last chance
That's what you said
Our last night
I broke promises
And told you lies
Took you for a rough ride
I fucked up
And got left behind
All the fault was mine
Every time you cross my mind
I see your eyes
I hope you can forgive me
For my crimes
Funk upon a time
You used to be mine
Funk upon a time
You used to be mine
We used to dance
In the dark after midnight
I held your hands in the park
Under the moonlight
Without your love in my arms
It don't feel right
The thought of you with someone
Makes me wanna fight
I used to hit from the back
Ah ah from the front
Hit from the side
Anyway I want
But now she's never coming back
Ah she left the chat
Being a one-woman man
I'm not so good at that
Every time you cross my mind
I see your eyes
I hope you can forgive me
For my crimes
I wish I could hit it
Just one more time
Cause you're what I've
Been missing in my life
Funk upon a time
You used to be mine
Funk upon a time
You used to be mine
Used to be, used to be
Used to be, used to be
Used to be, used to be
Used to be, used to be
Mine, mine
Mi-mi-mine, mine
Mine, mine
Mi-mi-mine, mine
Used to be, used to be
Used to be, used to be
Used to be, used to be
Used to be, used to be
Mine, mine, mine
Mine, mine
Mi-mi-mine, mine
Let's go back, back in time
Back when you used to be mine
Back before you found a new guy
Back before I made you cry
Back then you used to hit my line
Thought we'd last till the end of time, sigh
Wish I could press rewind
You used to be my girl but I
Got caught up in a web of lies
You know I can't be good
All the time
I'm just a player
I'm just a player
And I'm gon' keep on playin'
Step!
Step!
Step!
Step!
Step!
Step!
Step!
And every time you cross my mind
I see your eyes
And I hope you can forgive me
For my crimes
(Have mercy, baby)
I wish I could hit it
(You know I wish I could)
Just one more time
(Hit it just one more time)
Cause you're what I've been missing
(You're what I'm missing baby)
In my life
Funk upon a time
You used to be mine
Yea
Funk upon a time
You used to be mine
