70 Excuses |
| I could’ve been a doctor, were it not for a degree |
| I could’ve been a winner, were it not for defeat |
| I could’ve been richer, were it not for the taxes |
| I could’ve been a scholar, were it not for classes |
| I could’ve been a rebel, were it not for a cause |
| I could’ve been employed, were it not for the boss |
| I could’ve been loved, I could’ve been loved |
| I could’ve been loved, I could’ve been |
| We could’ve been artists, were it not for the muses |
| We could’ve been on time, were it not for excuses |
| We could’ve been diamonds, were it not for the penny |
| We could’ve been special, were it not for the many |
| We could’ve been patient, were it not for the waiting |
| We could’ve been committed, were it not for the staying |
| We could’ve been loved, we could’ve been loved |
| We could’ve been loved, we could’ve been |
| I still love your views, look up your interviews |
| Got me playing detective, searching for some clues |
| I wanted to take you home, show you where I’ve grown |
| Coffee down in Kenya then a swim in Cameroon |
| But you’re in California, working on your script |
| Young and beautiful, just trying to make the most of it |
| You could’ve been loved, you could’ve been loved |
| You could’ve been loved, you could’ve been |
| Hilila wa la halle, qabiilkii waa la daayay |
| Dagaal la daa, rafaad la daa |
| Jaceeylkiiyaa waa la raayay |
| I could’ve been free, were not for the past |
| I could’ve been in first place, were in not for the last |
