Coulda Shoulda Woulda Lyrics by Party

The Party

1990

[Verse 1]
When you wanted me to be your one and only girl
To give you all of my affection
Thought it was cool playing hard to get
And when you followed me
You were always tryin' to shower me
With all your flowers and attention
I told myself I wasn't ready yet

[Pre-Chorus]
But when I saw you kissing someone new
I realized what I had lost in you

[Chorus]
It coulda been love forever
It shoulda been us together
It woulda been if I'd never let you go
It coulda been you and me, boy
Shoulda been jumping for joy
It woulda been, only now we'll never know

[Post-Chorus]
It coulda been, shoulda been, woulda been
Be my lover
Be my lover

[Verse 2]
A golden opportunity that turned into a tragedy
Right before my eyes
I was a fool to let you get away
If I could turn the hands of time
Then I'd be yours and you'd be mine
Hindsight makes us so wise
And I know I've only got myself to blame

[Pre-Chorus]
We were in love, but now we're only friends
And I'm on the outside, looking in

[Chorus]
It coulda been love forever
It shoulda been us together
It woulda been if I'd never let you go
It coulda been something so fine
It shoulda been for a lifetime
It woulda been, only now we'll never know

[Post-Chorus]
(Coulda been) Coulda been forever
(Shoulda been) Shoulda been no other
(Woulda been) If I never let you go
(Coulda been) You and me, boy
(Shoulda been) Jumpin' for joy
(Woulda been) Only now we'll never know

[Bridge]
So when the right one comes along
You better take him
'Cause if you don't, your heart will be breakin'

[Pre-Chorus]
We were in love, but now we're only friends
And I'm on the outside, looking in

[Chorus]
It coulda been love forever
It shoulda been us together
It woulda been if I'd never let you go
It coulda been something so fine
It shoulda been for a lifetime
It woulda been, only now we'll never know

[Outro]
(Coulda been) Coulda been forever
(Shoulda been) Shoulda been no other
(Woulda been) If I never let you go
(Coulda been) You and me, boy
(Shoulda been) Jumpin' for joy
(Woulda been) Only now we'll never know

(Coulda been) Coulda been forever
(Shoulda been) Shoulda been no other
(Woulda been) Never let you go
(Coulda been) Coulda been something fine
(Shoulda been) Shoulda been a lifetime
(Woulda been) But now we'll never know

Coulda been
Shoulda been
Woulda been
