Paroles: Angie Stone. Black Diamond. Coulda Been You.

Could've been you laying next to me
Could've been you feeling everything
You had it all and you didn't know
Now I've gotta let you go, let you go

Should've been you laying by my side
Should've been you with me every night
But instead you had to play
Now I'm on my way, see you later babe, later babe

I can't understand it, baby
You must be out your mind
For you to walk away from me
When you had good love all the time

You played the game and now you've lost
And it's time to pay the cost
Turned away when I let you in
Now you're thinkin' 'bout what could of been, should of been

Could've been you laying next to me
Could've been you feeling everything
You had it all and you didn't know
Now I've gotta let you go, let you go

Should've been you laying by my side
Should've been you with me every night
But instead you had to play
Now I'm on my way, see you later babe, later babe

You thought the grass was greener on the other side
You didn't know your ass was colorblind
Now you're feeling like I did you wrong
But you had me baby, all along

You couldn't see forest for the trees
Now love has got you on your knees
You should've kept me when you had me then
Now it's could've been, should've been

Could've been you laying next to me
Should've been you feeling everything
You had it all and you didn't know
Now I've gotta let you go, let you go

Should've been you laying by my side
Should've been you with me every night
But instead you had to play, now I'm on my way
See you later babe, later babe

Baby, let me explain
I was temporarily insane
Didn't know what was going on in my mind
I was so blind, true love I could find lady

Can you please let me back in darlin'
I promise I won't do it again yeah, yeah
One more chance is all I ask, girl let's put the past
Let the past be the past, it's all in you, babe

I tried and I cried

Could've been you
I know you think I'm crazy
But I still love you
(Heart and soul)
Forever and ever and ever

(Should've been you)
I know you think I'm crazy
But I still feel you
(Why'd you have to play?)
Forever and ever and ever
(Broke me down, broke me down)

Could've been you laying next to me
Could've been you feeling everything
You had it all and you didn't know
Now I've gotta let you go, let you go
