Type the lyrics to “When I Was Your Man” by Bruno Mars

Bruno Mars's 'When I Was Your Man' is a stripped-back piano ballad with a moderate pace and heartfelt, plain-spoken lyrics. The steady phrasing makes it a strong intermediate track for practising clean, expressive typing.

Based on its natural singing speed, this track sits in the “fast” range, a demanding pace that challenges even experienced typists. You can slow the video down or turn on Easy mode (which drops capitals and punctuation) to make it more approachable, or type at full speed to test yourself.

The full lyrics run to roughly 304 words, making it a longer, endurance-building session. Repetition in the chorus means you'll drill the same words several times, which is exactly how typing speed on common words improves.
