It Could Have Been Me

(album: Into The Woods - 1987)

Well, it could have been me
Living in that house
With all those rooms
With all that power
And powerful friends
Flattering friends
It could have been me

Oh, it could have been me

Well, it could have been me
Living on that street
Out in the cold
Nothing to eat
Dream of a home
Dream of a bride
A life alone
Locked outside
It could have been me

Oh, it could have been me
Oh, it could have been me
Oh, no
It could have been me
Hey hey hey

Well, it could have been me
It could have been me
Lying in that jungle
Out in that heat
Fighting for my life
Dying for nothing
Feeling a bullet
Enter my soul
Well, it could have been me

Oh, it could have been me
Well, it could have been me
Oh, no
It could have been me
Hey hey hey hey

Well, it could have been me (oh, me)
Living in that prison
Locked in a cage
Damning the walls
Damn the division
Wondering why
It had to be me
When it could have been you
Oh, it could have been you

It could have been me
Oh, no
It could have been me
Hey hey hey hey hey
