[Intro]
  See
  Niggas think this love stuff is easy
  Heh, it's not the case
    Fallin' in love is so easy
  But stayin' that way is so hard
  All she wanted was security
  A man with a job and a car, baby
  You'd think I oughtta be happy
  On a hill with a view of the stars
  But as soon as I had to go out of town for a week
  I went to the next woman's arms
    [1] - If I coulda seen it, inside her
  Woulda seen her broken heart
  I woulda held on, tighter
  Then we wouldn't be falling apart
  I shoulda said I love her
  A thousand times a day
  Then I wouldn't be sittin' here
  Coulda, woulda, shoulda
  My whole damn life away
    Never had a good reason
  For treating my lady that way
  She cussed me out and left me standing there
  And went to her girlfriend's to stay, baby
  Now I spend all my lonely nights
  Mentally tryin' to explain
  Why she told me she never wanted to see me again
  A year ago today
    [Repeat 1]
    In the morning, you know I coulda came back
  Just before work and fooled around in the sack
    In the afternoon, it woulda been so cool
  Surprise you with ice, and set a date for next June
    In the evening, shoulda loved you right
  And let my niggas know I'm stayin' home tonight
    I coulda, I woulda, I shoulda but now you're gone
  But now you're gone
    [Repeat 1]
    Coulda, woulda
  Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
  I love you baby
    Can I sing to ya baby?
  Can I sing to ya?
    Can I sing to ya baby?
  Can I sing to ya?
    [Repeat 1]
