Baby, can you put them bags down
Just wait, hold on for a minute
Gotta say a couple things before you go
Even though I know that we're finished

I don't want you to leave without knowin'
Just where I'm comin' from, babe
I just wanna say I made a big mistake
And now I gotta face the fact that I

Shoulda been a better man
The kinda man that you needed
Woulda been better off
If I done right by you

I coulda done this, I coulda done that
But I know I can't go back
'Cause now it's just too late
I'm sayin' shoulda, woulda, coulda, yeah

I can tell by the look on your face
You ain't tryin' to hear what I'm sayin'
Maybe you done heard all of this before
To her, this ain't no game that I'm playin'

This may be the last chance I ever have
To talk to you before you go
So I gotta say I made I big mistake
Girl, you know it's killin' me that I

Shoulda been a better man
The kinda man that you needed
Woulda been better off
If I done right by you

I coulda done this, I coulda done that
But I know I can't go back
'Cause now it's just too late
I'm sayin' shoulda, woulda, coulda, yeah

I should have done my best to love you, baby
I should have placed no one above you
And now it's killin' me more than you know
Letting you go, that's why I

Girl, I know that I shoulda
Shoulda been a better man
(Coulda been a better man to you, baby)
The kinda man that you needed
(Shoulda been there for you
Every time you needed me)
Woulda been better off
(Every time you called me)
If I done right by you
(And you know that I coulda done this)

I coulda done this, I coulda done that
(Coulda done that, yeah)
But I know I can't go back
(You know I can't go back, baby)
'Cause now it's just too late
(All I now need to know
Is, girl, all I need to know is)

I'm sayin' shoulda, woulda, coulda, yeah
(Do you love me like you used to, baby?)

I know I shoulda, yeah
I know I woulda, yeah
(All the things I coulda done)
I know I coulda been a better man
(All the things I shoulda done)
Said I shoulda, woulda, coulda, yeah
(Sayin' shoulda, woulda, coulda, yeah)

I know I shoulda, yeah (yeah)
I know I woulda, yeah
(Coulda, woulda, shoulda)
I know I coulda been a better man
Said I shoulda woulda coulda, yeah
