  • Well, it must have been good
    'Cause you said it was love
    I guess the day you left me
    It wasn't good enough
    Now you're calling my number
    Say you wanna come back
    Oh 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 he's mine

    When you see the smile on his face
    Just remember, baby
    Could've been you, could've been you
    When he's standing there in your place
    I hate to say it, baby could've been you

    Guess I should've been cool
    Maybe I was too kind when loving me was easy
    You were hard to find
    When I cried over you, babe
    How the teardrops burned
    Oh baby, baby, how the tables turned
    So if those tears start falling when
    You see us walking by
    I hope you won't forget who said goodbye

    When you see the smile on his face
    Just remember, baby
    Could've been you, could've been you
    When he's standing there in your place
    I hate to say it, baby could've been you

    Should've been you, but you threw it all away
    Could've been you, standing here today
    So if those tears start falling when
    You see us walking by
    I hope you won't forget who said goodbye
    You said goodbye

    When you see the smile on his face
    Just remember, baby
    Could've been you, could've been you
    When he's standing there in your place
    I hate to say it, baby could've been you
    When you see the smile on his face
    Just remember, baby
    Could've been you, could've been you
    When he's standing there in your place
    I hate to say it, baby could've been you Publisher: BARRY BERGMAN DBA WOOD MONKEY MUSIC
