John Martyn – Could've Been Me lyrics
It could've been, would've been, should've been, could've been
It could've been, should've been, could've been, could've been me
It could've been, should've been, would've been, could've been me
Could've been me
(Could've been, would've been, should've been, could've been me)

I see that mountain bear look in his eyes
Watch you follow you back home
Recognize that look in his eye
Wish he'd leave you alone

It could've been me, it could've been me
I know it might been me
I know it could've been me

(Could've been, would've been, should've been me)
(Could've been, would've been, should've been me)
Help me, help me
(Could've been, would've been, should've been me)
Help me, help me
(Could've been, would've been, should've been me)
Help me, help me

See that man waving you goodbye
I see no tear in your eye for him
See that man who's got, who got a well kept suit
[Incomprehensible]

Could've been me, could've been me
Oh yes, it might have been me
Oh, could've been me

(Could've been, would've been, should've been me)
Help me, help me
(Could've been, would've been, should've been me)
Help me, help me
(Could've been, would've been, should've been me)
Help me, help me
(Could've been, would've been, should've been me)

Help me, help me
Help me, help me
Help me, help me
Help me, help me

Could've been, would've been, should've been me
Could've been, would've been, should've been me
Could've been, would've been, should've been me

You see that man with that gleam in his eye
I watched him follow you 'round and 'round
I recognize that gleam in his eyes
Someday it would've been enough to lay his body on the ground

Could've been me, I know
(Could've been, would've been, should've been, would've been me)
It might have been me, I know it could've been me

(Could've been, would've been, should've been me)
Help me, help me
(Could've been, would've been, should've been me)
Help me, help me
(Could've been, would've been, should've been me)
Help me, help me
(Could've been, would've been, should've been me)
Help me, help me

(Could've been, would've been, should've been me)
Help me, help me
(Could've been, would've been, should've been me)
Help me, help me
(Could've been, would've been, should've been me)
Help me, help me

(Could've been, would've been, should've been me)
Help me, help me
(Could've been, would've been, should've been me)
Help me, help me
