Rihanna - Coulda Been The One lyrics

rate me

Looking back it's hard for me to see

Just how I could have been so blind

Like an actor on a movie screen

You played the part with every line

Well every story doesn't have a happy ending

Sometimes a flower doesn't grow

I hope you understand the message that I'm sending

But boy I think you need to know

(coulda been the one)

That I would give it all to catch you when you fall boo

(Shoulda been the one)

Didn't know just what you had boy

Now it's just too bad boy

(After all is said and done)

You're a cheater and a liar

Went to play with fire

Boy I hope that you enjoyed your fun

Cuz you coulda been the one

There's nothing left to say

Coulda been the one

Coulda been

Shoulda been

My momma didn't raise no fool

She said play with fire you get burned

You laughed at me, I laugh at you

Now it seems the table's turned

I must admit I really thought you had potential

But I could not have been more wrong

I need somebody I can trust with his essentials

You had your chance but now I'm long gone

(coulda been the one)

I would give it all to catch you when you fall boo

(Shoulda been the one)

Didn't know just what you had boy

Now it's just too bad boy

(After all is said and done)

You're a cheater and a liar

Went to play with fire

Boy I hope that you enjoyed your fun

Cuz you coulda been the one

You coulda been the one baby

(You coulda been the one)

Oh yeah

You played yourself boy

And there is no denying it

It's just the way the story goes

You made your bed boy

Better go and lay in it

But know that you'll be laying there alone

You coulda been the one

(coulda been the one)

I would give it all to catch you when you fall boo

(Shoulda been the one)

Didn't know just what you had boy

Now it's just too bad boy

(After all is said and done)

You're a cheater and a liar

Went to play with fire

Boy I hope that you enjoyed your fun

Cuz you coulda been the one
