lyrics
Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda
Verse 1
Saw you on the morning train, look at me and I looked away.
Coulda, shoulda, woulda spoke to you.
Saw you in coffee queue, I walked right passed you.
Coulda, shoulda, woulda spoke to you.
Saw you in the pouring rain, dodged your umbrella smiled again.
Coulda, shoulda, woulda spoke to you.
Pre-chorus
And my heart keeps telling me lies
Chorus
Wait for the time, then she’ll be mine
But I’m left here standing in line
Oh please give me a sign…
Coulda, woulda, shoulda spoke to you
Verse 2
When you started going out with him, knew it wouldn’t last, just a fling.
Coulda, shoulda, woulda spoke to you.
He was looking all tanned and thin, you were in your heels drinking gin.
Coulda, shoulda, woulda spoke to you.
When you told me it was through, my poor heart, well it knew.
Coulda, shoulda, woulda been with you.
Pre-chorus
And my heart keeps telling me lies
Chorus
Wait for the time, then she’ll be mine
But I’m left here standing in line
Oh please give me a sign…
Coulda, woulda, shoulda spoke to you
Half verse
When you told me you were leaving him, knew it wasn’t true, not giving in
Coulda, woulda, shoulda walked away.
Pre-chorus
And my heart keeps telling me lies
Last Chorus
‘pray for the time, ask for a sign’
Have planets aligned and my heart stopped?
Is my mind lost?
Has the line crossed now?
But my heart keeps telling me lies
‘that she’ll be mine’ believing a lie
I wait in the dark for the sunshine
But the rain falls
As I think back when
I coulda, woulda, shoulda told you then
