Lee Fields - Could Have Been

Could have been a life that kept on going
Could have been a lifetime without knowing

But instead, you walked into my life
Now you're leaving me
Oh, you're leaving me
I just can't believe you're leaving me

Could have been a man who never cried for no one
Could have been a man, never die for no one

But instead, you walked into my life
Now you're leaving me
Oh, baby, you're leaving me

In another life, our paths may never have crossed
But, oh, somebody please, somebody please tell me
How happy could I have been
Never to know the love I lost, oh

Could have been our love kept on burning
Could have been a world kept on turning

But instead, I made a big mistake
Now you're leaving me
Oh, you're leaving me
Can't you see the tears in my eyes?
Girl, you're tearing me apart
You're breaking my heart, now
Please, don't you go, baby, oh no no
