Solange Knowles - Would've Been The One lyrics

rate me

Enlightening charmer, sent from where

A Casanova, lovely glare

And I was chosen, I was there

The wells get deeper, more unfolds

And at the bottom, there she goes

But wells are endless, I've found more

Flowers candy flirty late nights

On the speed dial, that was you too

Dinner movie sweet heart kisses

He don't dance, but tangles with two

I thought you plus me divided me from him

But I discovered, many more and again again

And you don't know, you fill many spaces

And she don't know, she's one of many lies

And he don't know, how he stole many places

And we all know, we can't fix him if we tried

I would've been the one

I held the title, wore the crown

I was the trophy, while you ducked down

And she was cool with just fooling around

(Yes she was, yes she was, yes she was)

Now number four was there to ride

And five was crazy, his wild child

And when we're rocky he calls number nine

Flowers candy flirty late nights

On the speed dial, that was you too

Dinner movie sweet heart kisses

He don't dance, but tangles with two

I thought you plus me divided me from him

But I discovered, many more and more and again

And you don't know, you fill many spaces

And she don't know, she's one of many lies

And he don't know, how he steals many places

And we all know, we can't fix him if we tried

I would've been the one

I was the one, yes I was the one

And yes that was my name

Inked up on his arm

And if he loved me that much

and still did me wrong

You feeling sorry, but you are holding on

I was the one, yes I was the one

Key word is was, yes I was the one

I figured out he was empty on my own

He had to find the answer

in something or someone

And you don't know, you fill many spaces

And she don't know, she's one of many lies

And he don't know, he stole many places

And we all know, we can't fix him if we tried

I would've been the one

Do do do doo do do

I would've been the one
