The Girls I Could’ve Had (Demo / 2016 Mix)
[Verse 1]
Sit alone and shiver
While the other guys are making
Sit and think, sit with drink
Try and roll one but I'm shaking
Every day, the same way, such a drag so bad
I might feel better than I'll love, for certain
[Chorus]
Think about the girls I could've had
The girls I could've had
It makes me feel so bad when I think about
The girls I could've had
If I'd've had the nerve
I could've had more women than I deserve
[Verse 2]
Sittin', reminiscing
About nights spent alone
Chicks would talk, we'd take a walk
Then I'd get nervous and go home
Evening's lovely with nostalgia
Sittin', drinking, digging sounds
I'll go out on my own
Sometimes a friend might come 'round
[Chorus]
The girls I could've had
The girls I could've had
It makes me feel so bad
The girls I could've had
If I'd've had the nerve
I could've had more chicks than I deserve, ah
[Verse 3]
One week, I meet a girl
I wanna make her mine
She's got a pout, I chicken out
Say I'll try another time
Next month, I'll travel a hundred miles
To see her again
And I do, she's got a boy
And a ring, it's the end
[Chorus]
The girls I could've had
The girls I could've had
It makes me feel so bad when I think about
The girls I could've had
If I'd've had the nerve
I could've had more women than I deserve
[Outro]
The girls I could've had
The girls I
The girls, the girls
The girls, the girls
The girls
