You Could've Been The One

(album: Stones - 1980)

There's a bright light that's shining in your face
You can't even see me at all
Oh, you look like an angel and you're out of place
At this downtown devil's bar

Do you wanna dance, girl?
You said “no, thanks”
And I watched you drift away
Well, you had your chance

You could've been the one
Tonight you could've been the only one
For the rest of my life
I'll be dreaming of you when this dance is done
Knowing you could've been the one

If I come back here I might see you again
And maybe you'd say “yes”
But it's a losing game that I'm trying to win
And I can only guess

Do you have somebody
Who watches you as you let down your hair
By the light of the moon

You could've been the one
Tonight you could've been the only one
For the rest of my life
I'll be dreaming of you when this dance is done
Knowing you could've been the one
Knowing you could've been the one

Do you wanna dance, girl?
You said “no, thanks”
And I watched you drift away
Well, you had your chance

You could've been the one
Tonight you could've been the only one
For the rest of my life
I'll be dreaming of you when this dance is done
Knowing you could've been the one

Tonight you could've been the only one
For the rest of my life
I'll be dreaming of you when this dance is done
Knowing you could've been the one...
