This song is about the relationship between a daughter and a toy. Same way it is between a parent and a kid. The toy watches the daughter slowly age, not needing her anymore.
[Verse 1]
When somebody loved me
Everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together
Lives within my heart
And when she was sad
I was there to dry her tears
And when she was happy so was I
[Chorus]
When she loved me
[Verse 2]
Through the summer and the fall
We had each other, that was all
Just she and I together
Like it was meant to be
And when she was lonely
I was there to comfort her
[Chorus]
And I knew that she loved me
[Bridge]
So the years went by, I stayed the same
But she began to drift away, I was left alone
Still, I waited for the day
When she'd say, "I will always love you"
[Verse 3]
Lonely and forgotten
Never thought she'd look my way
And she smiled at me and held me
Just like she used to do
[Chorus]
Like she loved me when she loved me
[Verse 4]
When somebody loved me
Everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together
Lives within my heart
[Chorus]
When she loved me
