If I Could’ve Been Lyrics by Original London Cast of Working: A Musical

Working: A Musical (Original London Cast Recording)

2018

[WOMAN 2]
If I could've been
What I could've been
I could've been something
[WOMAN 1]
If what I could be
Had been left to me
I would've been something
[WOMAN 3]
A tower of strength
A center of power
At ten bucks an hour
[WOMAN 2]
If I could've done
What I could've done
I could've done big things
[WOMAN 3]
With some luck to do
What I wanted to
I would've done big things
[MAN 2]
Swam a few rivers
[WOMAN 1]
Climbed a few hills
[MAN 3]
Payed all my bills
[WOMAN 1]
Now it's just dreams that I'm stuck with
And hell, that ain't a lot to show
[MAN 1]
I haven't gone far from the starting line
But deep down inside where it counts I know
(I know, I know, I know that if I)
[WOMAN 2]
That if I could've gone
Wherе I could've gone
I could've gonе places
With leeway to go
Far as I could go
I would've gone places (I could've gone far away!)
To the front of the line
The top of the tier
A long way from here
[WOMAN 3]
Way back then I had ambition
A lot of stamina and guts
I never took "no" for an answer
It was tougher to fight all those
If's, and's, or but's
[ALL]
If I could've been
What I could've been
I could've been something
If my destiny had been left to me
I would've been something
[WOMAN 1]
If they had let me go
Where I was rarin' to go
When I was rarin' to go
Back then
(God only, god only knows!)
[ALL]
What I could've been
I could've been something (What I could've been)
I could've been someone special (The top of the tier)
What I could've been (I could've gone somewhere special)
A long way from here (I could've been someone)
What I could've been (What I could've been)
The top of the tier (Someone special)
I could've been something (A long way from here)
