Joss Stone - Could Have Been You Lyrics






Well it's a shame
We used to be so tight
Tell me what's your game
Since you left me outside

I'm gonna change my track
Go anywhere but back
Ooh, when I think about it
I'm better off without it

There's no gain
Only pain
My heart can't take the strain

I can't sit
On the shelf
I'll give my love to someone else

If you see me walking by
Hand-in-hand with another guy
Know that it's true
It could have been you
If you'd only treated me right
Out of sight, baby out of mind
That's what you do
It could have been you

Don't wanna wait
For what you promised me
Like a train: delayed
Forever so it seems

I'm gonna change my track
Go anywhere but back
Ooh, when I think about it
I'm better off without it

There's no gain
Only pain
My heart can't take the strain

I can't sit
On the shelf
I'll give my love to someone else

If you see me walking by
Hand-in-hand with another guy
Know that it's true
It could have been you
If you'd only treated me right
Out of sight, baby out of mind
That's what you do
It could have been you

You could have been
My first, my last, forever
You held it in your hands
My heart, my treasure

The proof is in the memories
So sad to know that's all that's left for you is
What could have been..

If you see me walking by
Hand-in-hand with another guy
Know that it's true
It could have been you
If you'd only treated me right
Out of sight, baby out of mind
That's what you do
It could have been you
[x4]

(It could've been
Some say
It should've been
You
Forget you baby)

    I heard this playing at my job and loved it instantly. Definitely thought it was a sista lol; but was pleasantly surprised to see it was Joss Stone when I Shazamed it. I remember her being kinda popular in the early-mid 2000s when she had just came out, had even performed at the Grammys (I think she was nominated too); but then I didn't hear much from her after that. I know this is from a few years ago but hopefully she's still doing her thing.

    Uwielbiam sie bzykać przy tej piosence ehhh ....

  38. C.... G....

    Fabulosa

  39. E.... ....

    I agree, also her newest album's cover is the same disturbing. Music is still great though but I prefer her two first albums "Soul Sessions" and "Mind, Body & Soul". Her two or three newest albums give somewhat anxious image of her, like something was wrong with her or her life... Hope she will be fine :(.

  40. P.... M....

    Hello everybody :)

    JossColourMeFree09 thank you, wonderful Joss Stone

  49. R.... J....

    @Luanda911: She is on the map with black people. Just wish she was on the map period. So much soul with true beauty.

  50. x.... ....

  65. b.... ....

    Sing it Joss - so cool!!

  66. R.... M....

    @mjjcng8958 Ok, I understand your opinion

  67. R.... M....

    @mjjcng8958 I didn't say it was her best. I just really like it. You know, I would say Colour Me Free is better but they are a didn't style of R&B so I personally can't decide but I do enjoy both a lot.

  68. C.... ....

    I love this song. Someone please let me know if you see this song or her new songs on karaoke/instrumental. But in the meantime take a look at some of my covers and let me know if you like my voice. Thanks! :)

  69. f.... ....

    I really don't remember the time, I listened to such a great song:)I stopped doing things when the song has started, it was so amazing from the first sound.

  70. R.... M....

    I love the hip hop and funk in the track plus the soul in her voice. She is in her own category of meeting up to stereotypes

  71. R.... M....

    @rtodd111 What do u mean by that? Introducing Joss Stone was full of soul and was an amazing album. It just had a touch of R&B
