Skunk Anansie - Shoulda Been You Lyrics

Skunk Anansie Lyrics

"Shoulda Been You"

Take a sip of my wine
'Cause I'm losing face, head is drilling
Stomach-churning
Now I'm losing my place
Oh, oh
Shoulda been you

Casting spells
Lip and nails
Set to sharp and red
Fire's burning, she grows colder
Where the fuck is my head?
Oh, oh
Shoulda been you

Then I feel alright again
I feel alright again
I'm a stupid fool
Shoulda been you
I look at you how you blow my mind
I can see that I ain't wasting my time
Ooh, ooh
Shoulda been you

In my arms
Lies a devil
In a corset of black
She ain't running
She's returning
To the fish in the catch
Oh, oh, oh
Shoulda been you

Free the cult
Free the girl
Free the reason to lie
Free the eagle
Make it even
Free the kink in my eye
Oh, oh, oh
It's you

Then I feel alright again
I feel alright again
I'm a stupid fool
Shoulda been you
I look at you how you blow my mind
I can see that I ain't wasting my time
Ooh, ooh
Shoulda been you

I look at you and you blow my mind
I don't care if I am wasting my time
Ooh, ooh
Shoulda been you

Then I feel alright again
I feel alright again
I'm a stupid fool
Shoulda been you
I look at you how you blow my mind
I can see that I ain't wasting my time
Ooh, ooh
Shoulda been you

I look at you and you blow my mind
I don't care if I am wasting my time
Ooh, ooh
Oh, oh, shoulda been you, you, you

It shoulda been you, you, you
Shoulda been you
It shoulda been
It shoulda been
It shoulda been you
It shoulda been you
Woo-hoo
