Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda

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 knowin'

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

Would've 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 sayin', shoulda, woulda, coulda, yeah

I can tell by the look on your face

You ain't tryin' to hear what I'm sayin'

Maybe you done heard all of this before

Girl, this ain't no game that I'm playin'

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 (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Girl, you know it's killin' me that I

Shoulda been a better man, the kind of man that you needed

Would've 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 sayin', 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 killin' 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)

(Shoulda been there for you every time you needed me)

Would've been better off if I'd done right by you

(Every time you called me, and you know that)

I coulda done this, I coulda done that, but I know I can't go back

(I could've done this, I could've done that, yeah)

(I know I can't go back, baby)

'Cause now it's just too late, I'm sayin', shoulda, woulda, coulda, yeah

(All I need to know is, girl, all I need to know is)

(Do you still love me like you used to, baby?)

I know I shoulda, yeah, I know I woulda, yeah

(All the things I could've done)

I know I coulda been a better man (All the things I should've done)

I'm sayin', shoulda, woulda, coulda, yeah

(Sayin' shoulda, woulda, coulda, yeah)

I know I shoulda, yeah, I know I woulda, yeah

(Yeah, yeah, coulda been a better man to you, baby)

I know I coulda been a better man (Now I understand)

I'm sayin', shoulda, woulda, coulda, yeah

(Shoulda, woulda, coulda, yeah)
