[Intro: All, Stella]
But we're done for good, should've, would've, could've
Babe, it's me, I'm sorry, yeah
I know I should've like... and I would've, but
Oh, oh-woah
Look, just call me back, please
[Verse 1: Stella]
Should've put it down right
Would've been the one
Could've loved me long
Could've gave you some
If you say you're with your guys
Why the dial tone?
Can't pick up your phone?
Boy, I should've known
[Pre-Chorus: Jorja & Renée]
Saw you all up on her story (Story; yeah)
So tell me, why the hell can't you keep yours straight?
This shit ain't doing nothing for me (For me)
'Cause you were, oh, so close, now we'll never know
[Chorus: Renée, All]
Should've, would've, could've been me and you (You)
Should've, would've, could've been real for true, but
Should've, would've, could've ain't enough when it comes to us
Us (But we're done for good, should've, would've, could've)
Should've, would've, could've been ride or die, I
Should've, would've, could've made love all night, but
Should've, would've, could've ain't enough when it comes to love
Love (But we're done for good, should've, would've, could've)
[Verse 2: Stella]
Damn
Should've told me you was tryna be outside (Be outside)
Would've got my things and been out gettin' mine (Gettin' mine)
Could've had a good time (Had a good time)
Instead, I held it down for you
What was I to do when I
[Pre-Chorus: Jorja, All]
Saw you all up on her story (Ah)
So tell me, why the hell can't you keep yours straight?
This shit ain't doing nothing for me (For me)
'Cause you were, oh, so close, now we'll never know
[Chorus: Renée, Jorja, Stella, All]
Should've, would've, could've been me and you (And you, and you)
Should've, would've, could've been real for true, but (Real for true, yeah)
Should've, would've, could've ain't enough when it comes to us (Ain't enough when, when it comes to us)
Us (But we're done for good, should've, would've, could've)
Should've, would've, could've been ride or die, I (Ride or die)
Should've, would've, could've made love all night, but (Love all night)
Should've, would've, could've ain't enough when it comes to love (When it comes to love)
Love (But we're done for good, should've, would've, could've)
[Bridge: Jorja, Stella, Renée, All]
You almost had me (Almost had me)
Doing romantic, you blew your chances on a real one
(Almost had me)
Almost had me in the palm of your hands
But everything you're doing really ain't gon' do
I really dodged a bullet not fuckin' with you (You)
Me and you was so impossible, irreversible (Oh)
Should've let it go, now you're on your own singing
[Chorus: Renée, Jorja, Stella, All]
Should've, would've, could've been me and you (Could've been me and you, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Should've, would've, could've been real for true, but (Oh, but ain't enough when)
Should've, would've, could've ain't enough when it comes to us (When it comes to us, oh)
Us (But we're done for good, should've, would've, could've)
Should've, would've, could've been ride or die, I (Could've been ride or die, I)
Should've, would've, could've made love all night, but (Love all night)
Should've, would've, could've ain't enough when it comes to love (Ain't enough, when it comes to love)
Love (But we're done for good, should've, would've, could've)

This was myself, the girls, Lauren Keen and Mike Brainchild on the track. Actually 2 years ago to this week! The girls really wanted a proper classic R&B track cos I think that week we were tryna gun for “the single” or whatever. Mike started the track. Jorja s...
Stella Quaresma:
At first, it was hard for us to wrap our heads around this beat. It’s a really nostalgic sound that we wanted to sink our teeth into. Once we finished this song, we knew that our album was on a good path.
