Rihanna - Coulda Been The One Lyrics






Looking back it's hard for me to see
Just how I could have been so blind
Like an actor on a movie screen
You played the part with every line
Well every story doesn't have a happy ending
Sometimes a flower doesn't grow

I hope you understand the message that I'm sending
But boy I think you need to know

(Coulda been the one)
That I would give it all to catch you when you fall boo
(Shoulda been the one)
Didn't know just what you had boy
Now it's just too bad boy
(After all is said and done)
You're a cheater and a liar
Went to play with fire
Boy I hope that you enjoyed your fun
Cuz you coulda been the one

There's nothing left to say
Coulda been the one
Coulda been
Shoulda been

My momma didn't raise no fool
She said play with fire you get burned
You laughed at me, I laugh at you
Now it seems the table's turned
I must admit I really thought you had potential
But I could not have been more wrong
I need somebody I can trust with his essentials
You had your chance but now I'm long gone

(Coulda been the one)
I would give it all to catch you when you fall boo
(Shoulda been the one)
Didn't know just what you had boy
Now it's just too bad boy
(After all is said and done)
You're a cheater and a liar
Went to play with fire
Boy I hope that you enjoyed your fun
Cuz you coulda been the one

You coulda been the one baby
(You coulda been the one)
Oh yeah

You played yourself boy
And there is no denying it
It's just the way the story goes
You made your bed boy
Better go and lay in it
But know that you'll be laying there alone

You coulda been the one

(Coulda been the one)
I would give it all to catch you when you fall boo
(Shoulda been the one)
Didn't know just what you had boy
Now it's just too bad boy
(After all is said and done)
You're a cheater and a liar
Went to play with fire
Boy I hope that you enjoyed your fun
Cuz you coulda been the one

  13. T.... F....

    Yup, loving her forever and always....

  14. S.... ....

    You didn't know her to begin with lol. But I love her first two albums too. I llove her current ones too though

  15. V.... P....

    Rihanna & Beyonce are 2 different people , 2 different characteristics , 2 different Everything. So take yo beyonce stan ass on somewhere & Stop comparing them -.-

  16. C.... Z....

    I loved her sooo much better like this!!! Her best album's were her first 2, "Music of the Sun" and "A Girl Like Me". I gotta admit though, I hated the concept and everything she was going for in "Good Girl Gone Bad", but that one is really good also. She said in the thank you's of "Good Girl Gone Bad" QUOTE "This is finally my chance to show the world the true Rihanna..." ... If that was the true Rihanna, why didn't she start with that style when she came out?!

    C.... Z....

    Because she had to play the game with the record companies and make more pop, safe and accessible music and once she had made them a decent amount of money. she had more influence and creative control over her own career and could probably negotiate better deals with her management and record company. And then she would have the power and freedom to make the type of music she wanted. A lot of pop acts follow the same blueprint. She is a shrewd business woman.

    C.... Z....

    Rihanna it's working in reggae/dancehall music for her new (R9) album 💛

  17. C.... Z....

    Me Too! Her first 2 albums were sooo Reggae and good! Then she turned into this girl that I don't even know anymore :'(

    C.... Z....

    Pull yourself together, you never knew her. You just know her music smh

  18. a.... r....

  22. M.... ....

  24. m.... ....

  25. n.... ....

    @PortugalRonaldoFan would you like to rethink that now that she released her album 4?? lol..

  26. A.... ....

    I love her voice when it's put to this kind of music. :D

  27. W.... S....

    Hello cutie-pie......

  28. N.... D....

    Rihanna is so pretty and talented. And yes her reggae music was cool, but I like the fact that she changes up her style b/c this could get annoying after a while. But I must say I like her nice edgy rough style of music that she has out now. GO RIRI!!

  29. Y.... ....

    her voice sounds better with reggae :)

  30. b.... l....

    sooo SOULFUL LUV IT SINGOUT GAL GREAT SET OF VOCALS U GOT DEA 1 LOVE raspect

  31. T.... M....

    My name is Kiki, and i was raped before i died. I use to enjoy pain and now i inflict it upon people. I was tortured and raped untill i could no longer breathe. Those meanies now suffer and die, and those who do not repost this to 5 videos will die too.i hate this 2 but i believe

    At the strike of 12AM, those who did not repost this will die a horrible death after seeing a bloody face covered with long black hair. Those who repost this will get a kiss

  32. n.... t....

    @MuthaFuckinDork sell me candy

  33. R.... ....

    @girlfonmj true, should've sticked with reggae, cause she was great back then. But making shitmusic+being and looking weird like get's attention and money sadly enough.

  34. T.... M....

    R.G.B. 00-10

  35. g.... ....

    she did regea>pop>to trash

  36. N.... M....

    @ReMiiXoO nope I am not. Rihanna is the last celeb I will like tolook like , she is avg. she is not Angelina Jolie, or Ash Rai.

  37. N.... M....

    The old Rihanna was so beautiful . she tries so hard these days to be tough and fashinable and she ends up looking cheap.

  38. T.... ....

    Oooou lovely reggae song ♥

  39. N.... B....

    i so prefer her new shit

  40. d.... ....

    love this song! great pix!

  41. m.... ....

    Dont like the beat really,. But i like the song

  42. Y.... s....

    what's the name of the last song?

  43. s.... r....

    will Rihanna ever go back to the skanking beat music, I miss the magic she made with the roots music. love you Rihanna.

  44. I.... B....

    i loved her more when she was more with reggae

  45. J.... R....

    Definetly she should have sticked to her beachy style of music, i .loved her music so much more back in 05 when she first came out. She also looks wayyy better with longer hair then the Kate Gosslin haircut she has now. im not hatin but i dont like how she thinks shes all bad ass just because of what happened between her and Chris. Go back to the old you Rihanna!!

  46. M.... C....

    I think Beyonce as a singer has more personality that Rihanna, but nobody knows the future, she may be better in the next years but remember Beyonces is always doing differents shows and looking for differents and new kind of styles, so for now Beyonce has more fans, It´s not just for a excellent singer that she is, by the way she is a hot dancer, smart girl for the types of liric that she creates, at the same time she helps people, so Beyonce right now doesn´t have comparetion!!!!

  47. H.... ....

    That's so trueeeeeee! <3 (:

  48. B.... ....

    Why are all of her songs about cheating boyfriends?

    ("all" meaning most)

  49. A.... ....

    LOL it's sell me candy!

  50. c.... b....

    the song at the end is called "sell me candy"

    the song at the start, and for the majority of the video is "coulda been the one"

  51. m.... a....

    she is the best

  52. H.... o....

    shes so fake now

  53. H.... o....

    i totally agree!!!

  54. x.... ....

    aye, her old style was WAY betta!
    okay, maybe not this song; but Pon DeReplay, and all tha otha songs ya know.
    besides she was so much sweeter b4!
    both looks and style
    she's emo now

  55. L.... ....

    i dnt really like this song :s

  56. g.... ....

    i agree im a huge faN BUT HER OTHER STUFF WAS BETTER she hasnt totally lot touch bus she should go back to her original style

  57. 4.... ....

    such a great song!!!!

  58. T.... ....

    Rihanna has got the be THE most beautiful woman I have ever seen...Think I'm in love..:)

  59. V.... C....

    That's what the contract did to her. In the begining she had cute reggae songs, she was so cute that we were all like: OMG WHO'S THAT GIRL?! and now they've decited she has to be a "bad girl" with weird songs and ridiciously short hair.
    Rihanna, stand up for yourself!

  60. J.... T....

    who believes in this shit?

  61. i.... ....

    sorry for posting this stupid thing...just dont want the consequences.. if u dont reposed this on 15 videos a person will murder u tonite.this is not fake

  62. J.... S....

  63. O.... L....

    I best like her hair as it is in 0:30 for her performing but i also like 0:25. Her hair is the sorta hair you would really want your girlfriend to have to make her look really sexy

  64. J.... S....
