Bob Halligan: Could've been you [lyrics]

Bob Halligan

Could've been you

Well it musta been good

'Cause you said it was love

I guess the day you left me

It wasn't good enough

Now you're callin' my number

Say you wanna come back

Aw baby, baby

It's too late for that

'Cause when you see me there'll be

Somebody new by my side

Somebody who is sure she is mine

CHORUS

When you see the smile on her face

Just remember baby

Coulda been you — coulda been you

When she's standin' there in your place

I hate to say it baby

Coulda been you

Guess I shoulda been cool

Maybe I was too kind

When lovin' me was easy

You were hard to find

When I cried over you, babe

How the teardrops burned

Oh, baby baby

Now the table's turned

So if those tears start fallin'

When you see us walkin' by

I hope you won't forget

Who said goodbye

CHORUS

Shoulda been you — but you threw it all away

Oh — coulda been you

Standin' here today

So if those tears start to fallin'

When you see us walkin' by

I hope you won't forget

Who said goodbye — you said goodbye

CHORUS

When you see the smile on her face

(When you see the smile on her face)

Oh (Just remember baby)

It coulda been you baby (Coulda been you)

Coulda been — oh — it coulda been

You baby — here by my side

Coulda been you, baby sharin' my life

Coulda been you, baby with that smile on your face

Coulda been you, baby oh you baby, yeah

Where were you, babe?

Where were you when I needed you, baby?
