MIKE SHORT JR: CRANK IT UP
I COULD HAVE BEEN SOMEBODY
Verse 1
Somebody’s got her on his arm tonight
They’re laughing out loud she’s holding on tight
He’s the lucky one who takes her home
He must really be somebody
Like the kind of man I tried to be
The kind that wouldn’t leave her all alone
Cause we came close to making it but I got in the way
The always running part of me would not let me stay
Chorus
I was king of the whole world
When she was my girl but I gave it away
Yeah and now I’m left with nothing
Except knowing some other man has taken my place
I know she’s loving somebody tonight
And it’s killing me cause I…
I could’ve been somebody
Verse 2
Every now and then I’ll give her a call
And I’ll hear behind that Georgia drawl
An ounce of sympathy mixed with regret
We’re just two old friends saying hello
Till she finally says she’s gotta go
And I wish that I was hers and I wish we’d never met
Chorus
I was king of the whole world
When she was my girl but I gave it away
Yeah and now I’m left with nothing
Except knowing some other man has taken my place
I know she’s loving somebody tonight
And it’s killing me cause I…
I could’ve been somebody
Repeat Chorus
