It could've been you Oh hoo
<Interlude>
Congratulations baby
It's been awhile
I heard the grapevine
That you're seeing
a friend of mine
I hate to say this baby
But I think you should know
I hear about how
she treats you
Everywhere I go
I hear you're runnin' hidin'
Trying to be discreat
But let me tell ya
There's no need for you
to hide from me
I've found someone who
takes my loving seriously
You've gambled and lost
Baby pay the boss
For walking out on me
It could've been you
Loving me
It would have been
Everything you
wanted a love to be
It could've been you Holding me
Seven days a week
Baby if you wanted a real love
You should have stayed with me
So here you come talkin' baby
With the some old lines
You tryin' to break
down my defense
So you can tell me one more lie
But I ain't hearin' it baby
Cause you caused me pain, aye
This time you've gone too far
And now you lost
it all on the word
You say you love me
But I find it hard to believe
It didn't take you that
long to get over me
Now after all this time
You've been trying
to get back with me
But now the tables have turned
And now you're
on the outside looking in
It could've been you
Loving me
It would have been
Everything you
wanted a love to be
It could've been you Holding me
Seven days a week
Baby if you wanted a real love
You should have stayed with me
It could've been you Loving me
It would have been
Everything you
wanted a love to be
It could've been you Holding me
Seven days a week
Baby if you wanted a real love
You should have stayed with me
I hear she's got you
all stressed you
It cost you a furtone
just to take her out
You say she's just
taking you for a ride
I could've told you so
If I had my choice
I would be with you
But you could have
done much better too
And that's what you get
for thinking that you
could find a better love
It could've been you
Loving me
It would have been
Everything you
wanted a love to be
It could've been you Holding me
Seven days a week
Baby if you wanted a real love
You should have stayed with me
It could've been you Loving me
It would have been
Everything you
wanted a love to be
It could've been you
Seven days a week
Baby if you wanted a real love
You should have stayed with me
It could've been you
It could've been you Holding me
Seven days a week
It could've been you
It could've been you Holding me
Seven days a week
It could've been you
Seven days a week
It could've been you
It could've been you
Seven days a week
