Yeah
It could've been you
It could've been you
Congratulations baby, it's been a while
I heard through the grapevine that you're seeing a friend of mine
I hate to say this, baby, but I think you should know
I hear 'bout how she treats you everywhere I go
I hear you're runnin', hidin', tryin' to be discreet
But let me to tell you, there's no need for you to hide from me
I've found someone who takes my lovin' seriously
You've gambled and lost, baby, pay the cost 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
And baby, if you wanted a real love you should have stayed with me
So here you come talkin', baby, with the same ol' lines
You're tryin' to break down my defense so you can tell me one more lie
But I ain't hearin' you baby 'cause you caused me pain
This time you've gone too far and now you lost it all in vain
You say you love me but I find it hard to believe
It didn't take that long for you to get over me
Now after all this time you're trying to get back with me
But now the tables have turned and 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
And baby, if you wanted a real love you should have stayed with me
I said, it could have been you loving me
It would have been everything you wanted a love to be
It could've been you, seven days a week
And baby if you wanted a real love you should have stayed with me
I hear she's got you all stressed out
It cost you a fortune just to take her out
You say that she's takin' you for a ride
I could have told you so
If I had my choice I would be with you
But you could've 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, seven days a week
Baby if you wanted a real love you should have stayed with me
I said, it could have 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 holding me, seven days a week
It could've been you holding me, seven days a week
It could've been you, baby, loving me, ooh
Seven days a week, loving me
Everything you wanted love to be
