DEBORAH COX - It Could'Ve Been You lyrics

rate me

Congratulations baby, it's been a while

I heard through the grapevine that you're seeing a friend of mine

I hate to say this baby but I think you should know

I hear 'bout how she treats you everywhere I go

I hear you're runnin', hidin', tryin' to be discreet

But let me to tell you, there's no need for you to hide from me

I've found someone who takes my lovin' seriously

You've gambled and lost baby pay the cost

For walking out on me

It coulda been you loving me

It woulda been everything you wanted a love to be

It coulda been you holding me, seven days a week

And baby if you wanted a real love you shoulda stayed with me

So here you come talkin' baby, with the same ol' lines

You're tryin' to break down my defense

So you can tell me one more lie

But I ain't hearin' you baby

'Cause you caused me pain

This time you've gone too far

And now you lost it all in vain

You say you love me but I find it hard to believe

It didn't take that long for you to get over me

Now after all this time you're trying to get back with me

But now the tables have turned and you're on the outside looking in

I hear she's got you all stressed out

It cost you a fortune just to take her out

You say that she's takin' you for a ride

I coulda told you so

If I had my choice I would be with you

But you could've done much better too

And that's what you get for thinking that you could find a better love
