If I Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda

(アルバム： When You Hear Lou, You've Heard It All - 1977)

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

If I coulda woulda shoulda, that's what folks always say
If I coulda woulda shoulda, and its always to late
I'm sayin it now
I'm sayin it now

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

If I coulda woulda shoulda, that's what folks always say
If I coulda woulda shoulda, but its always to late
I'm sayin it now (sayin it now)
Sayin it now (I'm saying it now)

Well
If I coulda woulda shoulda
If I coulda woulda shoulda

How many times have you said that to yourself, or have you heard someone else say it: "You know if I had just had or if I would have 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 had just if I would have just went down there to that sale while they was havin it on I could have got me some real dynamite bargains man, I should have went down there, ya know". We always say that. We always a day late and a dollar short

We always saying
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 looking in

Talking 'bout
If I coulda woulda shoulda
If I coulda woulda shoulda
If I coulda
I woulda
And I shoulda
If I coulda woulda shoulda
If I coulda woulda shoulda
