Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda

Hmm, yeah, alright, yeah
Listen
Baby, can you put them bags down
Just wait, hold on for a minute
Gotta say a couple things before you go
Even though I know that we’re finished
I don’t want you to leave without knowing
Just where I’m coming from, babe
I just wanna say I made a big mistake
And now I gotta face the fact that I
Shoulda been a better man
The kind of man that you needed
Woulda been better off
If I’d done right by you
I coulda done this, I coulda done that
But I know I can’t go back
'Cause now it’s just too late
I’m saying shoulda, woulda, coulda, yeah
I can tell by the look on your face
You ain’t trying to hear what I’m saying
Maybe you done heard all of this before
Girl, this ain’t no game that I’m playing
This may be the last chance I’ll ever have
To talk to you before you go
So I gotta say, I made a big mistake
Girl, you know it’s killing me, that I
Shoulda been a better man
The kind of man that you needed
Woulda been better off
If I’d done right by you
I coulda done this, and I coulda done that
But I know I can’t go back
'Cause now it’s just too late
I’m saying shoulda, woulda, coulda, yeah
I should have done my best to love you, baby
I should have placed no one above you
And now it’s killing me more than you know
Letting you go
That’s why I
Girl, I know that I shoulda
Shoulda been a better man
The kind of man that you needed
(Coulda been a better man to you, baby)
Woulda been better off
(Shoulda been there for yah, every time you needed me)
If I’d done right by you
(Every time you called me)
I coulda done this, and I coulda done that
(And you that coulda done this, coulda done that, yeah)
But I know I can’t go back
(But now I can’t go back, baby)
'Cause now it’s just too late
(All I need to now is, girl, all I need to know is)
I’m saying shoulda, woulda, coulda, yeah
(Do you still love me like you used to, baby?)
I know I shoulda, babe
I know I woulda, yeah
(All the things I could have done)
I know I coulda been a better man
(All the things I shoulda done)
I’m saying shoulda, woulda, coulda, yeah
I know I shoulda, babe
I know I woulda, yeah
I know I coulda been a better man
I’m saying shoulda, woulda, coulda, yeah, yeah
