Lyrics of Shoulda Woulda Coulda by Beverley Knight
verse
People said that together, we were both sides of the same coin
That we would shine like Venus in a clear night sky
We thought our love could overcome the circumstances
But my ambition wouldn't allow for compromise
verse
I could see in the distance all the dreams that were dear to me
And every choice that I had to make left you on your own
Somehow the road we started down had split us asunder
Too late to realize how far apart we'd grown
chorus
And how I wish I (I wish I), wish I'd done a little bit more
Now "shoulda woulda coulda" means I'm out of time (means I'm out of time)
"Shoulda woulda coulda" can't change your mind
And I wonder (wonder), wonder what I'm gonna do
"Shoulda woulda coulda" are the last words of a fool, yeah
verse
People ask how it feels to live the kind of life others dream about, hm
I tell 'em everybody gotta face their highs and their lows
And in my life, there's a love that I put aside
'Cause I was busy loving something else
And so for every little thing you hold on to
You've gotta let something else go
chorus
How I wish I, wish I'd done a little bit more (a little more, yeah)
Now "shoulda woulda coulda" means I'm out of time (I'm out of time)
"Shoulda woulda coulda" can't change your mind
And I wonder (said I wonder), wonder what I'm gonna do
"Shoulda woulda coulda" are the last words of a fool
bridge
If I would now forsake the opportunities are fate
I know I'm right where I belong
But sometimes when I'm not that strong
chorus
I wish I, wish I'd done a little bit more
Now "shoulda woulda coulda" means I'm out of time (oh, out of time)
"Shoulda woulda coulda" can't change your mind
And I wonder (said I wonder), wonder what I'm gonna do
"Shoulda woulda coulda" are the last words of a fool, yeah
outro
And how I wish I, wish I'd done a little bit more
'Cause now "shoulda woulda coulda" means I'm out of time
"Shoulda woulda coulda" can't change your mind
And I wonder ("shoulda woulda coulda" means I'm out of time)
Wonder what I'm gonna do ("shoulda woulda coulda" can't change your mind)
"Shoulda woulda coulda" means I'm out of time
"Shoulda woulda coulda" can't change your mind
Mm, can't change your mind
