lyrics

I coulda kissed you while your heart gave out on a hospital bed,
I coulda held you up like crutches but you broke my knees instead,
I coulda fed you, kept you warm like your mama used to do,
After all babe we both got some growing up to do.

I coulda loved you til' your hair turned gray,
I coulda loved you til' your mind went away,
I coulda loved you, but you just couldn't stay,
I coulda loved you. I really loved you.

We coulda married in three years, had some kids, a family,
I could yell and I could bicker until you hated me,
You could have affairs with women half your age in hotel rooms,
Comin' home to me, half past three, while I sleep and never knew.

I coulda loved you til' your hair turned gray,
I coulda loved you til' your mind went away,
I coulda loved you, but baby you couldn't stay,
I coulda loved you. I really loved you.

I coulda loved you.
