Could Have Been You lyrics

[Intro]
Mm
La, la, la, la
Ooh, ooh, ah
Yeah
La, la, la, la
Mm-mm, mm
Well

[Verse 1]
Well, it's a shame
We used to be so tight
Tell me what's your game
Since you left me outside
I'm gonna change my track
Go anywhere but back
Ooh, ooh, when I think about it
I'm better off without it

[Pre-Chorus]
There's no gain
Only pain
And my heart can't take the strain
I can't sit
On the shelf
I'll give my love to someone else
[Chorus]
If you see me walking by
Hand-in-hand with another guy
Know that it's true (Ooh, ooh)
It could have been you (Ooh, ooh)
If you'd only treated me right
Not out of sight, baby, out of mind
That's what you do (Ooh, ooh)
It could have been you (Ooh, ooh)

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh
(Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Yeah
(Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Oh-oh, ooh
(Ah, ah, ah, ah)
(Ah)

[Verse 2]
Don't wanna wait
For what you promised me
Like a train, delayed
Forever, so it seems
I'm gonna change my track
Go anywhere but back
Ooh, ooh, when I think about it
I'm better off without it
[Pre-Chorus]
There's no gain
Only pain
And my heart can't take the strain
I can't sit
On the shelf
I'll give my love to someone else

[Chorus]
If you see me walking by
Hand-in-hand with another guy
Know that it's true (Ooh, ooh)
It could have been you (Ooh, ooh)
If you'd only treated me right
Not out of sight, baby, out of mind
That's what you do (Ooh, ooh)
It could have been you (Ooh, ooh)

[Bridge]
You could have been my first, my last, forever (Oh-oh)
You held it in your hands, my heart, my treasure (Oh-oh)
The proof is in the memories
So sad to know that's all that's left for you is
What could have been
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
(Hey)
[Chorus]
(But it's a shame)
If you see me walking by
(We used to be so tight)
Hand-in-hand with another guy
(Tell me what is your game)
Know that it's true (Ooh, ooh)
(Oh, oh, baby)
It could have been you (Ooh, ooh)
(See, it could've been you, yeah)
If you'd only treated me right
Not out of sight, baby, out of mind
That's what you do (Ooh, ooh)
It could have been you, yeah (Ooh, ooh), oh
If you see me walking by
Hand-in-hand with another guy
Know that it's true, yeah (Ooh, ooh)
It could have been you (Ooh, ooh)
If you'd only treated me right
Not out of sight, baby, out of mind
That's what you do (Ooh, ooh)
It could have been you (Ooh, ooh), yeah, yeah
If you see me walking by
Hand-in-hand with another guy
Know that it's true (Ooh, ooh)
(Know that it's true, baby)
It could have been you (Ooh, ooh)
(Know that it's true, it's not a thing, it could've been)
If you'd only treated me right
(It could've been you)
Not of sight, baby, out of mind
That's what you do (Ooh, ooh)
(But it wasn't, baby)
It could have been you (Ooh, ooh)
(Never was gonna be anyway, yeah)
If you see me walking by
Hand-in-hand with another guy
(Wish you never messed it up)
Know that it's true (Ooh, ooh)
(How you gonna mess it up?)
It could have been you (Ooh, ooh)
If you'd only treated me right
(Baby, if you'd only)
Not out of sight, baby, out of mind
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah)
That's what you do (Ooh, ooh)
It could have been you (Ooh, ooh)

[Outro]
Yeah
Hmm
Could've been
Some say that it should've been
Hm-mm, mm
You
Forget you, baby
