It Could've Been You Lyrics - Deborah Cox - Deborah Cox

Congratulations baby, it's been a while 

I heard through the grapevine that you're seeing a friend of mine 

I hate to say this baby but I think you should know 

I hear 'bout how she treats you everywhere I go 

I hear you're runnin', hidin', tryin' to be discreet 

But let me to tell you, there's no need for you to hide from me 

I've found someone who takes my lovin' seriously 

You've gambled and lost baby pay the cost 

For walking out on me 

It coulda been you loving me 

It woulda been everything you wanted a love to be 

It coulda been you holding me, seven days a week 

And baby if you wanted a real love you shoulda stayed with me 

So here you come talkin' baby, with the same ol' lines 

You're tryin' to break down my defense 

So you can tell me one more lie 

But I ain't hearin' you baby 

'Cause you caused me pain 

This time you've gone too far 

And now you lost it all in vain 

You say you love me but I find it hard to believe 

It didn't take that long for you to get over me 

Now after all this time you're trying to get back with me 

But now the tables have turned and you're on the outside looking in 

It coulda been you loving me 

It woulda been everything you wanted a love to be 

It coulda been you holding me, seven days a week 

And baby if you wanted a real love you shoulda stayed with me 

It coulda been you loving me 

It woulda been everything you wanted a love to be 

It coulda been you holding me, seven days a week 

And baby if you wanted a real love you shoulda stayed with me 

I hear she's got you all stressed out 

It cost you a fortune just to take her out 

You say that she's takin' you for a ride 

I coulda told you so 

If I had my choice I would be with you 

But you could've done much better too 

And that's what you get for thinking that you could find a better love 

It coulda been you loving me 

It woulda been everything you wanted a love to be 

It coulda been you holding me, seven days a week 

And baby if you wanted a real love you shoulda stayed with me 

It coulda been you loving me 

It woulda been everything you wanted a love to be 

It coulda been you holding me, seven days a week 

And baby if you wanted a real love you shoulda stayed with me
