Could've Been (Southside Remix)

[Intro: H.E.R.]

Please, allow me to show you something

Mmm, somebody give me, yeah

[Verse 1: H.E.R.]

Somebody give me, uh

Somebody tell me the answers

Me and you isn't the answer (Uh)

Me and you isn't (No)

Maybe I'm tellin' myself that

But there ain't nothin' that'll change that

What good would it be, if I knew how you felt about me? (Yeah)

[Bridge: H.E.R.]

It could've been right but I was wrong (Uh)

Only think 'bout you when I'm alone (Yeah)

Part of me that cared inside it's gone

And I know, that I can't, get caught up

[Chorus: H.E.R.]

We could've been

And we try to pretend

Every now and again

We don't dream about, don't think about what

We could've been

Though I'm holding it in

'Cause I know in the end

You dream about, I think about what

We could've been

We could've been (Yeah)

We could've (Damn, yeah)

[Verse 2: BJ the Chicago Kid]

Remember?

Uh, that night in New Orleans, girl

We were so sweaty, but we looked so oily, girl

It was so good, you know you can't ignore me, girl

I know you remember

Remember, you told me to promise to never leave you lonely

And I agree (Oh), but agreements get broken, I guess (I guess)

Well, feelings get broken, I guess (I guess)

Well, hearts get broke, yes, I pressed

And I succeeded (Yeah, yeah)

'Cause I wanted you and you wanted me, but (Huh)

I be lying if I said I never thought that we could be

[Chorus: H.E.R. & BJ the Chicago Kid]

We could've been (We)

And we try to pretend (We both try)

Every now and again (And again)

We don't dream about, don't think about what (Yeah, yeah)

We could've been (Oh, yeah, we both tried)

Though I'm holding it in

'Cause I know in the end (Know in the end)

You dream about, I think about what (Baby, baby, I'm sorry)

We could've been (Hell yeah, I think about what...)

We could've been (That nineties kinda love)

We could've (Kinda like the new thing with the old thing)

We could've been (But we was on swang)

What we could've been, we could've been (We could've been, I still lye in hear, I never thought we could be)

[Interlude: BJ the Chicago Kid]

Oh, I gotta be honest, baby I miss you

I'm sorry, I know it's crazy

Are you there?

[Verse 3: H.E.R. & BJ the Chicago Kid, both]

We both thought it was cool to cross the line (I know)

And I was convinced it would be alright (Me too)

All things are strange (Oh), nothing's the same (Oh)

And baby, I just want my friend back

Yeah, yeah, woah, woah

Can't get you out of my system

Oh (Oh)

Yeah (Yeah)

We could've been, we could've been

We could've been (There's something special)

What we could've been (We could've been)

We could've been (Hey, we could've been, hey)

Yeah, yeah we could've been (We could've been)

Damn, damn (We could, we could've been, could've been baby)

We could've been

Damn
