could've been somebody else

she's not the kind that gets in your way

so every day

i want her beside me

she's not the kind that makes you pay

for every mistake

she can forgive me

and i'm so lucky that i found the perfect girl

out of all the millions of people in the world

could've been somebody else

that i shared my life with

could've been somebody else

who didn't care about me

could've been somebody else

that you gave your heart to

oh

but i'm so glad you gave your heart to me

she's the kind that makes you proud

she's never loud

she's always a lady

she's the kind that you wanna hold

love never gets old

she's soft as a baby

i shudder when i think of how it might have been

if that night you hadn't turned and smiled again

could've been somebody else

that i shared my life with

could've been somebody else

who didn't care about me

could've been somebody else

that you gave your heart to

oh

but i'm so glad you gave your heart to me

could've been somebody else

that i shared my life with

could've been somebody else

layin' here with me

could've been somebody else

that you gave your heart to

oh

but i'm so glad you gave your heart to me

could've been somebody else
