[Verse 1]
What was I thinkin'? Sayin' I don't dance, girl
Let her walk away, and it coulda been love
Bet you right now she'd be lightin' up my world
What was I thinkin'? It coulda been lo-lo-love

[Chorus]
Coulda been love, coulda been forever
Guess I'll never know, some fools never
Never, ever learn when not to run
Dang it, ole son, it coulda been love

[Verse 2]
She was walkin' out the door, she was lookin' back my way
Threw me a smile and it coulda been love
I was sippin' on a beer, she was headed for the highway
Now she long gone, it coulda been love

[Chorus]
Coulda been love, coulda been forever
Guess I'll never know, some fools never
Never, ever learn when not to run
Yeah, she's long gone, and it coulda been love

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, there she goes
[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
Wish I'da got her name, I could probably find her number
Let her get away, and it coulda been love
This old heart ain't gettin' any younger
What was I thinkin'? It coulda been love

[Chorus]
Coulda been love, coulda been forever
Guess I'll never know, some fools never
Never, ever learn when not to run
Another chance done gone
It coulda been love, coulda been forever
Guess I'll never know, some fools never
Never, ever learn when not to run
Another chance done gone, coulda been love
Dang it ole son, it coulda been love
Now she's long gone, and it coulda been love

[Outro]
What was I thinkin'? Sayin' I don't dance, girl
