If I Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda

[Verse 1]
I coulda been
A little more understanding
And I'd still be loving you right now
I should have been smarter
I could have used my head
And we'd still be together somehow

[Chorus]
If I coulda, woulda, shoulda, that's what folks always say
If I coulda, woulda, shoulda, and it's always too late
I'm saying it now
I'm saying it now

[Verse 2]
If I woulda stopped it
Before it all got started out
I wouldn't be so sad and lonely without you
I wish there was a way, to turn back the hands of time
I'd do it different, if I had it to do all over again

[Chorus]
If I coulda, woulda, shoulda, that's what folks always say
If I coulda, woulda, shoulda, but it's always too late
I'm saying it now (Saying it now)
Saying it now (I'm saying it now)

[Bridge]
You know, I'm gonna probably count all my mistakes
I'll never do the same thing same way all over again

[Verse 3]
'Cause I coulda been
A little more understanding
And I'd still be loving you right now
You know, huh, I could have been smarter
I could have used my head
And we'd still be together somehow

[Chorus]
I said if I coulda, woulda, shoulda, that's what folks always say
If I coulda, woulda, shoulda, but it's always too late
I'm saying it now (Saying it now)
Saying it now (I'm saying it now)
Well, if I coulda, woulda, shoulda, ha
If I coulda, woulda, shoulda

[Outro]
How many times have you said that to yourself, or have you heard someone else say it? "You know, if I'da just had, or if I woulda had the chance, you know, I woulda done a lot better than I did, man." Or, you know, like they have big sales, you say, "Boy, if I'da just, if I woulda just went down there to that sale while they was havin' it on I coulda got me some real dynamite bargains, man. I shoulda went down there, you know." We always say that. We always a day late and a dollar short

We always sayin' if I coulda, woulda, shoulda
If I coulda, woulda, shoulda

You know there comes a time in everybody's life when they make that statement
"If I would have just" or "I could have just" or the bottom line is "I should have just." And you always wind up on the outside lookin' in

Talking 'bout, if I coulda woulda shoulda
If I coulda, woulda, shoulda
If I coulda (Woulda, shoulda) I woulda
And I shoulda (If I coulda, woulda, shoulda)
If I coulda, woulda, shoulda
(If I coulda, woulda, shoulda)
If I coulda woulda shoulda
(If I coulda, woulda, shoulda)
