So you say your new girlfriend's a little too friendly

You caught her telling one more lie, one too many

You say she won't love you right

She stays out so late at night

Lately you've been thinking about the time

You could have been mine, you could have been mine



It wasn't very long ago you had my attention

And what she did that turned your head, well, I won't mention

I won't say I told you so

But there's one thing you should know

I was seeing hearts and valentines

You could have been mine, you could have been mine



That's the chances we take

With the choices we make

There's gonna be mistakes from time to time

And you could have been mine



Now you've got your bed all made so lay alone in it

Don't even think what we could've been for even one minute

I'd have been your Juliet

And never gave you one regret

But don't you let that cross your troubled mind

When you could have been mine, you could have been mine



That's the chances we take

With the choices we make

There's gonna be mistakes from time to time

Oh, you could have been mine, could have been mine
