I couldn't but I could've

I shouldn't but I should've

I wouldn't but I would've

thought I'd do it but I didn't



There's a conscientious struggle

goin' on inside of my head

there's a conscientious struggle

gotta do what's right and never give in

to temptation



I could've should've would've

but I couldn't shouldn't wouldn't

so I didn't



Didn't wanna have to be this way

always so full of regrets

but I guess I'll have to be this way

cuz that's just the way that I am

Always thinkin' of what might've been

If I'd only done this or that

Can't help thinkin' of what might've been

cuz that's just the way that I am



If you can think of just one reason not to

You better leave it alone

Though you wanna or you think you ought to

You better leave it alone

Well I may not be satisfied

with the way that things turned out

but if I did what I think was right

then I've got nothing to worry about
