“Should’ve When You Could’ve” is a song about missed opportunities in a romantic relationship. The lyrics describe a situation in which one person in the relationship is fed up with being mistreated and ignored by their partner.
[Verse 1]
I'm done wondering where you've been
All night long when you're out with your friends
All you say, that the matter's over
But now that chapter's over
I'm done trusting you, it's ended
Even after I catch you red-handed
You could've been my only one
But now your chance is gone
[Chorus]
You should've!
When you could've!
You're going to miss my love, girl
You should, it would've been so good
You should've!
When I would've!
Now I know I've had enough
Better luck next time, girl
You should, it would've been so good
[Verse 2]
I'm done chasing you all over
May as well be chasing after thunder
Play hard to get if it makes you happy
For a change, now you can start chasing me
Don't cry 'cause I ain't your sure thing
It ain't my fault you don't know a good thing
You could've been my only one
But now your chance is gone
[Chorus]
You should've!
When you could've!
You're going to miss my love, girl
You should, it would've been so good
You should've!
When I would've!
Now I know I've had enough
Better luck next time, girl
You should, it would've been so good
[Bridge]
Don’t you understand?
Don’t wanna be your backup plan
Now I won’t be here to clean up when it hits the fan
You tried to keep me on your leash
It’s time you started chasing me!
[Breakdown]
I’m done acting like I won’t be
Sitting here, still wishing you wanted me
Don’t say that I never told you
Take some advice from somebody who knows-
[Chorus]
You should've!
When you could've!
You're going to miss my love, girl
You should, it would've been so good
You should've!
When I would've!
Now I know I've had enough
Better luck next time, girl
You should, it would've been so good
You should've!
When you could've!
You're going to miss my love, girl
[Outro]
You should, it would've been so good
