K`NAAN ☆ 70 Excuses

I could’ve been a doctor
were not for degree
I could’ve been a winner
were not for defeat
I could’ve been richer
were not for the taxes
I could’ve been a scholar
were not for classes
I could’ve been a rebel
were not for a cause
I could’ve been employed
were not for the boss
I could’ve been loved
I could’ve been loved
I could’ve been loved
I could’ve been loved
I could’ve been loved
I could’ve been loved
I could’ve been loved
I could’ve been loved
We could’ve been artists
were not for the music
We could’ve been on time
were not for excuses
We could’ve been diamonds
were not for the penny
We could’ve been special
were not for the many
We could’ve been patient
were not for the waiting
We could’ve been committed
were not for the stain
We could’ve been loved
We could’ve been loved
We could’ve been loved
We could’ve been loved
We could’ve been loved
We could’ve been loved
We could’ve been loved
We could’ve been loved
I still love your views
And cup your inner views
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 the swimming Cameron
But you’re in California
Working on your script
Young and beautiful
just want 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 loved
You could’ve been loved
You could’ve been loved
You could’ve been loved
You could’ve been loved
You could’ve been loved
You could’ve been loved
You could’ve been loved
You could’ve been loved
You could’ve been loved
You could’ve been loved
You could’ve been loved
I could’ve been free
were not for the past
I could’ve been first place
were in not for the last
