could've been me

Singer: john martyn

see that man with that look in his eye

i see him walking with you back home

i recognise that look in his eye

i wish he'd leave you alone

could've been me

could've been me

ah might have been me

could've been me

see that man waving you goodbye

i see no tear in your eye for him

see that man with the secret kept

in his tear stained eye

could've been me

it could've been me

oh yeah

it might have been me

oh could've been me

could've been me

could have been me

i know it might have been me

oh yeah

could have been me

see that man with that gleam in his eye

i watch him follow you round and around

i knew the time when that gleam in his eye

could've laid him in the ground

could've been me

ah yeah

might have been me

i know it could've been me

oh yeah

could've been me

you know it could have been me

oh yes

could've been me

it might have been me

oh yes

could have been me

i can't tell you

i can't tell you

oh

i'm too careful

could've been me

oh

could've been me

i know it might have been me

i know it could have been me

could have been me
