[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be
[Verse 1]
I heard that men, men never choose
The one that they really love is the one that they lose
She ends up being the one they daydream about
In a suburban house with a woman he settled for
She was better for him, I guess
God bless, but it couldn't be me, yeah
[Chorus]
She's got her face beat, and she's always home
And she put to sleep every dream of her own (Yeah)
And she lets you go cheat, long as you come home
From searching the streets for someone like the one you let go
[Post-Chorus]
Couldn't be me, baby (Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be)
Like the one you let go
Couldn't be me, baby (Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be)
[Verse 2]
I heard that girls, girls never learn
Change everything 'bout myself, hopin' I'd get a turn (Yeah)
Just to be the one he daydream about
In a two-bedroom house with a wife he don't even love
She was easier, I guess
God bless, but it couldn't be me, yo (Couldn't be me)
[Chorus]
She's got her face beat, and she's always home
And she put to sleep every dream of her own (Yeah)
And she lets you go cheat, long as you come home
From searching the streets for someone like the one you let go
[Post-Chorus]
Couldn't be me, baby (Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be)
The one you let go
Couldn't be me, baby
[Outro]
Couldn't be me (Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be)
Couldn't be me (Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be)
Couldn't, couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be (Couldn't be, couldn't be, couldn't be)
Couldn't be me
