(I shoulda been the man, yeah, I shoulda been the man)

(Oh damn, damn, damn, damn)

Shoulda, coulda, woulda done what'd make you mine

Saw with him at the movies

Tell me what do you see?

Look at him, look at me

Baby he ain't nothing like me

Shoulda, coulda, woulda done what'd make you mine

(I shoulda been your man, I coulda been the man)

You were so good to me

Treated me like a king

And I took it all for granted

I had every mans dream laying down next to me

And now you're gone and I can't stand it, well

Don't know what you got (Oh oh)

Until that shit is gone

And baby now I understand it

Another niggas in your life (Mmm hmm)

And I'm here all alone

And it ain't the way I planned it, oh

The things you know I'll do to you (Do to you)

How 'bout another shot? (Another shot)

What's up with second chances? (Yeah)
