Baby can you put them bags down,

Gotta say a couple things before you go,
even though I know that we're finished.
I don't want you to leave without knowing,
just where I'm coming from. Babe.
Just wanna say I made a big mistake,
and now I gotta face the fact that I..

Should been a better man,
the kind of man that you needed.
Woulda been better off,
if I'd done right by you.
Coulda done this, could done that, but I know I can't go back,
'cause now it's just to late,
I'm saying shoulda, woulda, coulda.Yea

I can tell by the look on your face,
you ain't trying to hear what I'm saying.
Maybe you done heard all of this before too,
girl this ain't no game that I'm playin.
This may be the last chance I'll ever have,
to talk to you before you go.
So I gotta say, I made a big mistake.

Should been a better man,

Cause now it's just to late,
I'm saying shoulda, woulda, coulda.Yea

I should have done my best to love you. Baby.
I should have placed no one above you.
And now it's killing me more than you know,
