lyrics

You Could Have Had Me
by Rob Roper ©2008


You could have been happy
It could have been good
But you went for him
And I was just a friend
So I have no sympathy
For your latest tragedy
You're a fool, you can't see
You could have had me

You like the pretty ones
Not the loving ones
But they don't need you
They get bored and they leave you
So I sip my beer
But I won't shed a tear
'Cause you never see
You could have had me

Bridge:
Oh, you say you'll change
But I know it's not true
You see, I understand
Yes, I understand
Cause I'm just like you

You'll find another
Just like the others
And you'll try to change him
But you can't, so you'll blame him
We only want
what we can't have
what can never be
You could have had me
You could have had me
You could have had me.
