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 Ohh, 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 Ohh, baby, you're leaving me
In another life, our paths may never have crossed But, ohh, somebody please, somebody please tell me How happy could I have been Never to know the love I lost, ohh
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 Ohh, 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
