Couldve Been You
Well it must have been good
cos you said it was love
I guess the day you left me
It wasnt good enough
Now youre calling my number
Say you wanna come back
Oh baby, baby its too late for that
cos when you see me
Therell be somebody new by my side
Somebody who is sure he is mine
Chorus:
When you see the smile on his face
Just remember baby
Couldve been you, couldve been you
When hes standing there in your place
I hate to say it baby
Couldve been you, couldve been you
Guess I should have been cool
Maybe I was too kind
When loving me was easy
You were hard to find
And when I cried over you babe
How the teardrops burned
Oh baby, baby now the tables turned
So if those tears start falling
When you see us walking by
I hope you wont forget who said goodbye
Chorus
Shouldve been you
But you threw it all away
Oh couldve been you
Standing here today
Couldve been you baby
So if those tears start falling
When you see us walking by
I hope you wont forget who said goodbye
You said goodbye
Chorus x 2

The Way You Do The Things You Do
Youve got a smile so bright
You know, you couldve been a candle
Im holding you so tight
You know, you couldve been a handle
The way you swept me off my feet
You know, you couldve been a broom
The way you smell so sweet
You know, you couldve been some perfume
Well, you couldve been anything
That you wanted to and I can tell
The way you do the things you do
(the way you do the things you do,
The way you do the things you do)
As pretty as you are you know, you couldve been a flower
If good looks can cause a minute
You know that you could be an hour
The way you stole my heart
You know, you couldve been a cool crook
And baby, youre so smart
You know, you couldve been a schoolbook
Well, you couldve been anything
That you wanted to and I can tell
The way you do the things you do
(the way you do the things you do,

You made my life so rich
You know, you couldve been some money
And baby, youre so sweet
You know, you couldve been some honey
Well, you couldve been anything

You made my life complete
(the way you do the things you do)
You made my life so bright
(the way you do the things you do)
You make me feel all right...

Couldve Been
(lois blaisch)
The flowers you gave me
Are just about to die
When I think about
What couldve been
It makes me want to cry
The sweet words you whispered
Didnt mean a thing
I guess our song is over
As we begin to sing
Chorus:
Couldve been so beautiful
Couldve been so right
Couldve been my lover
Every day of my life
Couldve been so beautiful
Couldve been so right
Ill never hold what couldve been
On a cold and lonely night
The members of our lovin
Still linger in the air
Like the faded scent of your roses
They stay with me everywhere
Everytime I get my hopes up
They always seem to fall
Still what couldve been is better than
What could neverepeat chor be at all
Repeat chorus
How could I hold what couldve been
On a cold and lonely night?

I Was So Lucky
Its no secret Ive been waiting
But I didnt expect this
Nothing will remain
Nothing stays the same
After you came
Its no secret Ive been starving
I never felt anything for years
I sat up all night
Just to watch your smile
When youre sleeping
I was so lucky you came by
And turned a different corner
I couldve been somewhere else
You couldve passed by, couldve passed by
Come on and sail the sea with me
Come on, lets go around the world
Maybe find a flat
Or a canyon house
For the season
I was so lucky you came by
And turned a different corner
It couldve been someone else
You had in mind
I was so lucky you found me
My rags turned gold and silver
I couldve been somewhere else
You couldve passed by, couldve passed by
What would you make of this, my baby?
The sun through the trees
Is there a better place to be?
I was so lucky you came by
And turned a different corner
It could have been someone else
You had in mind, oh my
I was so lucky you picked me
My trash turned to silver
Yea, I could have been somewhere else
You couldve passed by, couldbe passed by

You Couldve Been The One
Written by john batdorf and sue sheridan, 1980
Found on alibi and ventura highway and other favorites.
Theres a bright light thats shinin in your face
You cant even see me at all
Oh, you look like an angel out of place
At this downtown devils bar
Do you wanna dance girl
You said no thanks
And I watched you drift away
Well you had your chance
You couldve been the one
Tonight you couldve been the only one
For the rest of my life
Ill be dreamin of you when this dance is done
Knowin you couldve been the one
If I come back here I might see you again
And maybe youd say yes
But its a losin game Im tryin to win
And I can only guess
Do you have somebody (watchin)
Who watches you
As you let down your hair
By the light of the moon
You couldve been the one
Tonight you couldve been the only one
For the rest of my life
Ill be dreamin of you when this dance is done
Knowin you couldve been the one
Knowin you couldve been the one
Where do you go when the night ends
Are you just a dream that fades into gray
Visions of you will not leave me alone
Why did you have to turn away
You couldve been the one
Tonight you couldve been the only one
For the rest of my life
Ill be dreamin of you when this dance is done
Knowin you couldve been the one
Tonight you couldve been the only one
For the rest of my life
Ill be dreamin of you when this dance is done
Knowin you couldve been the one ...

Dontcha Want Me Now?
Verse1:
Im evasive Im cool and Im nobodys fool
And Im layin it on the line
You looked a mess
Cause my little black dress
Stopped you on a dime
Dont even try it your ticket has expired
And Im just too tired to dance
Even if you want me
Youre not gonna get me
Cause baby you had your chance
Chorus:
Dont you want me now
Now that Im trying not to try so hard
Dont you want me now
Dont you wonder how
You couldve pushed this naive girl
To go so lowdown
The tables are turned somehow
Dont you want me now
Verse2:
Its not really me its somebody else
But Im lovin her just the same
The look on your face
When I walked in this place
Will remain forever on my brain
Cause the jokes on you
And its long overdue
Tell me can you take the heat
Wanting to hassle the king in his castle
Revenge never tasted so sweet
Chorus
Bridge:
Who cares who wins cause just the same
Im not into baby games
Yet you once swept me off my feet
Now look whos in the drivers seat
Chorus:
Now, now that Im trying not to try so hard
Dont you want me now
Dont you wonder how
You couldve pushed this naive girl
To go so lowdown
The tables are turned somehow
Dont you want me now

Dont you want me now
Dont you want me baby
Dont you want me now
Dont you
Dont you want me now

Safe & Sound
Maybe this is forever
Forever fades away
Maybe this is a rocket into space
I dont want to be sad
I dont want to break down
After all I wont let go
Till youre safe and sound
Till youre safe and sound
Theres beauty in release
After all the scenes for you and me
I dont blame you for quitting
I know you really tried
Maybe we could have hold on through the night
Cuz I dont want to be lonely
I want to be scared
And all are friends are waiting there
Till youre safe and sound
Till youre safe and sound
Theres beauty in release
Theres no one left to please but you and me
Till youre safe and sound...
Feel like I couldve held on
Feel like I couldve let go
Feel like I couldve helped you
Feel like I couldve changed you
Feel like I couldve held on
Feel like I couldve let you
Feel like I was a stranger
Feel like I was an angel
Feel like I was a hero
Feel like I was a zero
Feel like I couldve touched you
Feel like I couldve saved you
Feel like I couldve moved you
Feel like I couldve held you
Feel like I couldve heald you
Feel like I couldve told you
Feel like I couldve loved you
Feel like I couldve loved you
Feel like I couldve loved you
Feel like I couldve loved you...

While You Were Gone
Hmm, whoa, yeah, oh baby, hmm, oh
I read you wrong
You said youd only be away a while
But the days turned into weeks
And all the weeks into miles
Baby why?
You couldve told me you were telling me goodbye
Couldve come clean and let me walk away in style, oh
Funny thing is
While I was missing you
While I was figuring what I was gonna do
1 - I got wise, I got hip
I caught on to your tricks
I got over it real quick, yeah baby
While you were gone
Now Im cool, cant you tell
Feel so good about myself
A funny thing happened to me baby
While you were gone
Oh, you looked surprised
Like no one ever left you and survived, no
Well leaving me alone has kind of opened my eyes
Baby you, you gave me the time to find somebody new
And I found strength inside me I never knew, oh
Funny thing is
While he was holding me
While he was showing me how its suppose to be
Repeat 1
Repeat 1 with ad-libs by kelly
Didnt freak, didnt cry
I just held my head up high
I learned how to say goodbye
While you were gone
Had time on my hands
Baby dont you understand
A funny thing happened to me baby
While you were gone
Had nothing but time on my hands
Learned how to understand boy
Got over you, got over you, oh
While he was holding me
While he was showing me how its suppose to be
Oh baby
Repeat 1
While you were gone, oh
Learned to lie, learned a lesson
Learned how to get along, learned how to be strong
Learned how to love myself, while you were gone, ooh, oh

Do You Remember?
We never talked about it
But I hear the blame was mine
Id call you up to say Im sorry
But I wouldnt want to waste your time
cos I love you, but I cant take any more
Theres a look I cant describe in your eyes
Yes we could try, like we tried before
When you kept on telling me those lies
Do you remember...?
There seemed no way to make up
cos it seemed your mind was set
And the way you looked it told me
Its a look I know Ill never forget
You couldve come over to my side
You couldve let me know
You couldve tried to see the distance between us
But it seemed too far for you to go.
Do you remember...?
Through all of my life
In spite of all the pain
You know people are funny sometimes
cos they just cant wait
To get hurt again
Do you remember...?
There are things we wont recall
Feelings well never find
Its taken so long to see it
Cos we never seemed to have the time
There was always something more important to do
More important to say
But I love you wasnt one of those things
And now its too late
Do you remember...?

Were all running fast tonight
Rocket shoes on our feet
Theres a planet where its right
Im sure well get there by next week
I couldve been a doctor
I couldve been a lawyer
I couldve been a scientist
I couldve been normal
Especially in the daylight
You say dont worry while in flight
The darkness is like a fog

Trailer
She graduated high school I bought her a trailer
In a little park by the side of the road
I couldve had the army
I couldve had the navy
But no I had to go for a mobile home
Yeah I guess I gave it all for you babe
There wasnt room in that trailer for two babe
I kept up with my interest
I kept up with my payments
She never said goodbye
I never asked why
Man we used to dance to lynyrd skynyrd
Boy she used to look so good at times
But I guess I gave it all to you babe
Theres not room in no trailer for two babe
Well I guess I gave it all for you babe
All for you and your trailer too babe

No, no, no i, I never can say goodbye

And start heading for the door
Theres a very strange vibration
Kissing me right to the core or pericing me right to the core
It says turn around you fool,
You know you love him more

Same Old Blues
(by eric clapton)
Im sorry baby, but I cant afford to stay.
Your good, kind treatment will worry me someday.
I love you baby, but Im gonna have to say goodbye.
Woman, I got to move, I really got to fly.
Same thing every morning,
Tell me whats it all about.
I get those same old blues every night.
I miss you already, baby, more than words can say.
Seems like Ive been gone twenty-four hours, more like a million days.
I love you baby, you know I woudnt tell you no lies.
If you dont believe I love you, look at the tears standing in my eyes.
Chorus
Here I am back home, baby, Im back home to stay.
I love you babe, never more will I go away.
I wont hurt you no more, baby, aint gonna tell you no more lies.
No more running round, no more phony alibis.

Tell me one more time as I hold your hand, that you dont love me
Tell me one more time as teardrops start to fall
Shout it to me and Ill shout it to the skies above me

Baby, baby, tell me that you never wanted my loving
Baby, baby, tell me that you never, tell me, tell me,
One more time, one more time, say youre leaving, say goodbye
One more time, one more time, say youre leaving, say goodbye
Tell me one more time that we never had a thing in common
Tell me one more time as you turn and face the wall
Tell me I should know you were never my kind of woman
Tell me we were fools to fall

Baby, baby, tell me that you never, tell me, tell me,

One more time, one more time, say youre leaving, say goodbye
Tell me one more time your tears are only sad confusion
Tell me its just been so long and that is all
Tell me one more time that love was only my illusion
You never answered to my call
Baby, baby, tell me that you never wanted my loving

I Wont Forget You
Late at night I close my eyes
And think of how things could have been
And when I look back
I remember some words you had said to me
Its better to have lost at love
Then never to have loved at all
Chorus
I wont forget you baby
(I wont forget you)
Even though I should
I wont forget you baby
(I wont forget you)
Even though I should, yeah
Sometimes in my head
I can still see pictures of you
And I laugh to myself
When I think of all those crazy things that we used to do
Although miles come between us
Just between you and me
Chorus
I should let you fade away
But that just wouldnt be me
Oh, baby
Solo
Although miles come between us
Just between you and me

And all the plans we made

Baby Come Back To Me
Oh yeah
Baby come back to me, remember how it used to be
Paradise is just out of reach
Baby wont you please come back to me
Another night here alone, staring at the telephone
Willing you to make that call, to bring you back where you belong
Its been threee hard weeks, baby the longest nights
I need to hear your voice and feel your soft skin by my side
We said things that we shouldnt have
I take back every word
Dont you know I can turn back time
Its only you that I pay the price
Chorus:
Baby come back to me, remember how it used to be
Without you Im incomplete
I feel the pain with every heartbeat
Baby come back to me, inside Im dying piece by piece
Paradise is just out of reach
Baby wont you please come back to me
The day that we said goodbye, no holding back the tears weve cried
Searching for the reasons why, we let this love just fade and die
All the riches in the world, all the diamonds and the pearls
Id give to send the winds of change to bring you back to me again
Oh say that we can heal this pain, turn the spark into a flame
I know that we can bring it back again
So baby please cant you see Im down on my knees
Chorus
Baby, baby, baby....
Youre in every, every breath I breathe baby (baby, baby, baby)
Youre in every dream I dream baby (baby, baby, baby)
This time will last forever
Give it all a try, each and every day I pray
Oh girl, yes I pray, please come baby

Schmuck
1) youve got some nerve to tell me to go
Lifes not that simple, you cant make it so
Should we talk about right and wrong
Or why we cant seem to get along
2) life with you felt so alone
Somehow I put you on some kind of throne
And now here Im the one to blame
Does it make it easy, to forget my name?
Chorus -
Well, I cant live on memories, I know that would be wrong
And Im not running from you, you were already gone
Its just some stupid game that we play
Would things change now if I stayed
3) sorry to be the one to drive in the knife
But you took me for granted, like Id settle for such a life
Was I wrong to share a bed
With some loving arms instead?
4) youre miles away when I look you in the eye
Ive cried so hard now Im too tired to even try
Now you say baby come back please,
Dont you remember the way, the way it used to be.
Chorus -
But I cant...
Bridge -
And it hurts too much to see you throw yourself away
I know youve got too many dreams youre too afraid to face
Do you really think you can forget to love yourself
Cause now youve left me with a shell
Of someone that I used to know well
4) that bottle in your lap is so cliche
Youre such a rebel, what else is there for me to say
Has that bottle been your friend?
Cause when I shut this door, you wont see me again

Cause I cant.....

Right Direction
Standing on this dusty road
Listening to my radio
If you could see, Id know you swear
Im a thousand miles from anywhere
Well it may seem stong insane to you, baby
But I guess its just what I gotta do
Just to get myself to where you are
Dont you know I traveled many times as far
Well I hope Im headed in the right direction
Got no time for making wrong decisions
What could give me such a sense of mission
Only love..... couldve brought me here
In the right direction
Well it takes a strong man and a mighty wind
To send me off to the places Ive been
It takes more than one of a tales to tell, baby
Searching for some weak will
And im, hope Im headed in the right direction
Got no time for making wrong decisions
What could give me such a sense of mission
Only love..... couldve brought me here
Everybody knows that love will make you crazy
Make you play the fool thats sotoxicated
So dont you be surprised if one leaves the afternoon
I come knocking on your door baby
Cause you know Im not a mule
Well I may not pass this way again
And if I do, I dont know when
But it seems to me, unless Im wrong, baby
Our paths will cross before too long
Well I hope Im headed in the right direction
Got no time for making wrong decisions
What could give me such a sense of mission
Only love..... shouldve brought me here

Only love can set me off in the right direction

Edge Of A Broken Heart
I cant believe I couldve been so blind,
But love is strange.
I thought about it for a long, long time,
But the truth remains.
I dont need another lonely night to dry my tears.
The answers plain as black and white,
And I can see the picture very clear.
Ive been livin on the edge of a broken heart.
I dont wanna fall, I dont wanna crawl.
Ive been livin on the edge of a broken heart.
Dont you wonder why I gotta say goodbye?
It isnt like you never had the chance
To change your tune.
Did you think that Im a dime a dance?
Well the dance is through.
Ive been doin things your way too long,
But baby thats over.
It wont be easy, but Ive gotta be strong,
And if I wanna cry I dont need your shoulder.
Ive been livin on the edge of a broken heart.
I dont wanna fall, I dont wanna crawl.
Ive been livin on the edge of a broken heart.
Dont you wonder why I gotta say goodbye?
Ill find someone else whos nothing like you.
Two can play the game as well,
And youre gonna be sorry, baby,
When its over!
[guitar interlude]
Ive been doin things your way too long,
But baby thats over.
It wont be easy but Ive gotta be strong,
And if I wanna cry I dont need your shoulder.

Diggin On You
I was like peace in a groove
On a sunday afternoon
You were there so was i
In the park 4th of july
I was chillin with my kool aid
When miss chile came to rely
That you had a thang for me
Finest thang youd ever seen
I must admit to you
Ive heard those lines a time or two
Although for some apparent reason
Monkey lines are now in season
Lights off lights on
I guess the groove is on so I am
Chorus
Diggin the scene
Diggin on you
Diggin on me
Baby baby ooo baby baby
Its on like that
Its on like that
I gotta be in love or somethin like that
I was like deep in a cool
Whatnt gone be nobodys fool
Could not care less who was there
Couldve been like anywhere
I was chillin with my kool aid
Did not want to par ti ci pate
In no silly conversations
Had no time for new relation ships
I must admit to you
When I heard the lines you threw
Although it usually turns me off
But this time you have turned me on
Lights off lights on
I guess the groove is on and I am
Chorus
Oh why do I feel the way I do
When all I can think about is you
What was it in a line
That made me fall for you
Do you know
Why Im diggin diggin diggin diggin on you
Chorus
Diggin on you
Its on like that
Diggin diggin diggin diggin on you
