**CUDN’T B ME** (Live Performance)

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be

I heard that men, men never choose

The one that they really love is the one that they lose

She ends up being the one they daydream about

In a suburban house with a, a woman he settled for

She was better for him, I guess

God bless, but it couldn't be me, oh

She's got her face beat, and she's always home

And she put to sleep every dream of her own

And she lets you go cheat, long as you come home

From searching the streets for someone like the one you let go

Couldn't be me, baby (Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be)

Like the one you let go

Couldn't be me, baby (Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be)

I heard that girls, girls never learn

Change everything 'bout myself, hopin' I'd get a turn (Yeah)

Just to be the one he daydream about

In a two-bedroom house (Two-bedroom house) with a wife he don't even love

She was easier, I guess

God bless, but it couldn't be me, yo (Couldn't be me)

She's got her face beat, and she's always home

And she put to sleep every dream of her own

And she lets you go cheat, long as you come home

From searching the streets for someone like the one you let go

Couldn't be me, baby (Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be)

Like the one you let go

Couldn't be me, baby (Couldn't be me)

Babe, I'm sorry to hear that, babe, that's fucking shit, I'm sorry (Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be)

But listen, Jessie, you can't beat yourself up too much about this stuff

Like, you've got to go with your heart and your instincts (Couldn't be me)

And you'll learn next time when you get the same feelings to not go there, you know? (Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be)

So it's a good thing you did it, it's all part of the growth (Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be me)

Um, I'm proud of you for being brave and courageous and doing it and stepping into it (Couldn't be me)

And finding out what, what's right and what's wrong, um, for you (Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be)

It sounds like he is a twat and he will regret this for as long as he lives, I promise you, babe

But he's not worth your breath, it sounds like (Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be)

Um, I'm in Mexico, babe, I just landed, wish you were here, miss you (Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be)

Yeah, I'm sendin' you a big hug, love, love, love, love, love you
