Jewel - When I Was With You - Текст песни

This song was written by Jewel and Steve Poltz--Jewel wrote the
   lyrics, but the music (melody) was written by Steve for a song with
   different lyrics that appears on Morning Wood. This was Jewel's
   response to that song, told from the female's point of view.

   Do you remember when we were younger,
   all those crazy things that we used to do?
   You'd play my hips like drumsets
   and sing all your favorite Stevie Wonder tunes
   When I was with ya.
   
   Do you remember we did everything together?
   I'd share my otter pops with you.
   And we would sing in all the slimy slimy barrooms
   We'd watch for your cousin Ed on the evening news
   When I was with ya
   
   I'd warm your tootsies up, they're always so cold
   And I'd fix you supper from leftovers two weeks old
   And I'd read you the classified ads in bed
   And you would point out all the miserable lives
   that I could have had instead of being with you
   
   Could've been Whoopi Goldberg's breasts
   
   Do you remember when you wrote all those letters?
   Though I admit they were kind of sick
   But still I knew I was your honey sugar dumpling
   and just like a good line you'd alweys be there to lick
   When I was with ya
   
   Do you remember when you took all those classes?
   All those crazy gadgets you would fix
   I hated how cluttered our apartment was
   I hated our landlord Harry, he was such a dick
   When I was with ya
   
   I'd warm your tootsies up, they're always so cold
   And I'd fix you supper from leftovers two weeks old
   And I'd read you the classified ads in bed
   And you would point out all the miserable lives
   that I could have had instead of being with you
   
   Could've been Richard Nixon's last pair of clean underwear ?????
   
   Do you remember when we went to Mexico
   and stayed in that cute little place
   We were honin' our fine love-makin' skills
   and you tattoed "I love you" on your face
   When I was with ya
   
   I still remember the last time that I saw you
   You left me with a hotdog in my hand
   Was it cause I didn't want a pickle or was it a pretty senorita
   Oh well, there was always stuff that I didn't understand
   When I was with ya
   
   I'd warm your tootsies up, they're always so cold
   And I'd fix you supper from leftovers two weeks old
   And I'd read you the classified ads in bed
   And you would point out all the miserable lives
   that I could have had instead of being with you Being with you
   
   Being with you
