SHOULDA, COULDA, WOULDA

I asked you for love

Then you gave me everything but

How does that happen? (Rhetorical)

Don’t explain

Please don’t reach for the right words now

Cause you had time, you had love, you had me

But you let that there flame burn out

INTRO

I didn’t ask you to give me the world on a silver platter

Still you were so adamant on doing what I never asked for

You said you knew what I needed

Before I even could speak, yeah

But it was all the wrong things

That’s how I knew you never listened

VERSE 1

I envy you and how you move

Like you don’t have no one in this world loving you

But I despise your rude, cause I wouldn’t do that to you

And when I’m through and you lose

I don’t want to hear your

PRE-CHORUS

Shoulda, coulda, woulda cause you didn’t when you could’ve

And I don’t want to hear no more of your mouth, cut it out

Shoulda, coulda, woulda,

And I know of a few others who will do just what you should’ve

No doubt, you’re missing out.

CHORUS

I never really ever could be yours

Cause it seems that you don’t care to lose me

And I’ll be alone ‘fore I stay lonely here with you

I got your number and your place

And if it works out this way

I kiss you many goodbyes and wish you a thousand happy days

VERSE 2

I’ll leave you and your conscience to be

Come rain, sunshine, bliss, or misery

Before I let you carry on making a fool out of me

Now that I’m through and you lose

I don’t want to hear none of your

PRE-CHORUS

Shoulda, coulda, woulda cause you didn’t when you could’ve

And I don’t want to hear no more of your mouth, cut it out

Shoulda, coulda, woulda,

And I know of a few others who will do just what you should’ve

No doubt, you’re missing out.

CHORUS

BRIDGE

Sleepyhead you been sleeping all day

I guess you like learning the hard way

I’m not the guy to sit around and wait

For you to wake and look me in my face

We could’ve been this and that, frick and frack

Would’ve bent forth and back and forth for us

But you were too busy daydreaming to take notice

When all I ever asked was that you love me like you knew you could

Instead, you looked in my eyes, unchanged as I knew you would

But I can’t stick around on the strength of what I hoped from you

What I hope you’d do and when I choose I don’t want hear no

Shoulda, coulda, woulda cause you didn’t when you could’ve

And I don’t want to hear no more of your mouth, cut it out

Shoulda, coulda, woulda,

And I know of a few others who will do just what you should’ve

No doubt, you’re missing out.

CHORUS

Shoulda, coulda, woulda, but you didn’t when you could’ve

Shoulda, coulda, shoulda, coulda, oh

Shoulda, coulda, woulda, but you didn’t when you could’ve

Shoulda, coulda, shoulda, coulda, oh

Shoulda, coulda, woulda

Shoulda, coulda, woulda
