Coulda Been You

[Chorus]

Could've been you laying next to me

Could've been you feeling everything

You had it all and you didn't know

Now I've gotta let you go, let you go

Should've been you laying by my side

Should've been you with me every night

But instead you had to play

Now I'm on my way

See you later, babe, later, babe

[Verse 1]

I can't understand it, baby

You must be out your mind

For you to walk away from me

When you had good love all the time

You played the game and now you've lost

And it's time to pay the cost

Turned away when I let you in

Now you're thinking 'bout

What could of been, should of been

[Chorus]

Could've been you laying next to me

Could've been you feeling everything

You had it all and you didn't know

Now I've gotta let you go, let you go

Should've been you laying by my side

Should've been you with me every night

But instead you had to play

Now I'm on my way

See you later, babe, later, babe

[Verse 2]

You thought the grass was greener on the other side

You didn't know your ass was colorblind

Now you're feeling like I did you wrong

But you had me baby, all along

You couldn't see forest for the trees

Now love has got you on your knees

You shoulda kept me when you had me then

Now it's could of been, shoulda been

[Chorus]

Could've been you laying next to me

Should've been you feeling everything

You had it all (had it all, baby) and you didn't know

Now I've gotta let you go, let you go

Could've been you laying by my side

Should've been you with me every night

But instead you had to play

Now I'm on my way (Now I'm on my way)

See you later, babe, later, babe

[Bridge: D'Angelo]

Baby, let me explain (No, no, no, no, no, no, no)

I was temporarily insane

Didn't know what was going on in my mind

I was so blind, true love I could find

Lady, can you please let me back in?

I promise I won't do it again yeah, yeah

One more chance is all I ask

Girl, let's put the past

Let the past be the past

It's all in you, babe

I tried and I cried, whoa, whoa whoa

[Chorus]

Could've been you, oh

I know you think I'm crazy

But I still love you, heart and soul

Forever and ever and ever

Should've been you, oh

Should've been you, oh

I know you think I'm crazy

But I still feel you

Why'd you have to play

Put me down, broke me down?

Could've been you laying next to me

Should've been you feeling everything

You had it all (had it all)

Now I've gotta let you go, let you go
