Shoulda Coulda
Regrets in Harmony: Shoulda Coulda by Mickey Shiloh Unveiled
Lyrics
I ain't thought about you in so long, been a long time
I haven't thought about you in a long time; it's been a while.
Might have been something special, but you let it pass you by
There might have been something special between us, but you missed the opportunity.
It coulda been something good, so good
There was potential for something good between us.
But we just let it go, who wouldn't
We both let it go, perhaps without a good reason.
We weren't even hurt by it, but now it's that
We weren't initially affected by the breakup, but now it has an impact.
Shoulda, coulda, woulda baby, shoulda, coulda, woulda
Expressing regret and highlighting that the person should have, could have, and would have loved her.
Shoulda, coulda, woulda baby, shoulda, coulda, woulda
-Cause you shoulda loved me, coulda loved me, wish you woulda loved me
-You shoulda loved me, coulda loved me, bet you wish you woulda loved me
-I got all these dudes in my phone
The singer has other romantic interests and is not committed; if someone had her once, they still have a chance.
You already know I'm a rollin' stone
-If I got you once then I still got you, yeah
-If you want to, you know I want to, yeah
-Shoulda, coulda, woulda baby, shoulda, coulda, woulda
Reiterating the missed opportunity for love and the resulting regret.
Shoulda, coulda, woulda baby, shoulda, coulda, woulda
-Cause you shoulda loved me, coulda loved me, wish you woulda loved me
-You shoulda loved me, coulda loved me, bet you wish you woulda loved me
-Bet you wish you woulda, wish you woulda
Emphasizing the regretful feelings and the desire for a different outcome.
Wish you, wish you coulda, shoulda, coulda, woulda
-Shoulda put a ring on it, gave it up yeah right away
Reflecting on missed chances, regret, and the impact of not committing to a relationship.
Damn you really had me crazy
-On my body, body, how you touch it
-I was lost in all that lovin', now you watchin' me walk away with it
-Ooh you'll call me when you regret it
Anticipating a regretful call from the person when they realize the mistake.
Shoulda, coulda, woulda baby, shoulda, coulda, woulda
Repeating the theme of regret and expressing the desire for love that wasn't given.
Shoulda, coulda, woulda baby, shoulda, coulda, woulda
-Cause you shoulda loved me, coulda loved me, wish you woulda loved me
-You shoulda loved me, coulda loved me, bet you wish you woulda loved me
-Shoulda, coulda, woulda baby, shoulda, coulda, woulda
Closing the song with a repetition of the longing for love and the regret associated with not receiving it.
Shoulda, coulda, woulda baby, shoulda, coulda, woulda
-Cause you shoulda loved me, coulda loved me, wish you woulda loved me
-You shoulda loved me, coulda loved me, bet you wish you woulda loved me
