It Could Have Been You lyrics

you were walking by

you were looking so sly

with a cigarette

when you caught my eye





it was love at first sight

and i was hypnotized

but nothing ever materialized





i kept it all inside

held my feeling in disguise

and i know this much is true

that you never knew

that it could have been you





[Chorus]

well i guess you never knew

that it could have been you





i saw you sitting there

didn`t have a care

black leather jacket and purple hair

wanted to ask you out

but i walked away

cause i didn`t know what i could say





now i think back to that day

could things have gone a different way?

but i know this much is true

you never had a clue

that it could`ve been you





[Chorus]





it could have been...

a perfect match to go down in history

better than sid and nancy

a love to last `til the end of time

my punk rock valentine

i could`ve been yours

and you could`ve been mine

will there ever be a next time?





is there such a thing as destiny?

will we ever be a reality?

all that could have been

all that may never be

is this the end of our story?





they say all things fade away

another guy will come my way

but i`ve never seen anyone like you

and you never knew

that it could have been you
