Lyric

Could I be

Hori Katsura

Anyone tell me

Tell me why I'm feelin’ this way

Who knows? That's what they say

But you get only one to cut me loose

You got to know me, someway, somehow

Wish that I could be the one

The same as you do to me

Feeling alright, if I could

Feeling alright, if I could

Could I be the one to talk ‘bout in

All of you oh

Feeling alright, if you don’t

Have to say it if you don't want to

Could I be the one to walk along

With you

Everytime you take

Take everyone so seriously

I know you’re such a person

‘Don’t ever turns away from someone’s need’

You seem worn out...So worn out

Wish that I could be the one

Who drive your fatigue away

Feeling alright, if I could

Feeling alright, if I could

Could I be the one you talk ‘bout in

All of you oh

Feeling alright, if you don’t

Have to say it if you don't want to

Could I be the one to walk along

With you

We got to laugh at the stupidity

Lying on the couch, just to feel you

Hey, don’t be so critical

Well this time I’m serious to be

To be a someone

To make you fill your life of missing piece

Feeling alright, if I could

Feeling alright, if I could

Could I be the one you talk ‘bout in

All of you oh

Feeling alright, if you don’t

Have to say it if you don't want to

Could I be the one to walk along

With you

Feeling alright, if I could

Feeling alright, if I could

Could I be the one you talk ‘bout in

All of you oh

Feeling alright, if you don’t

Have to say it if you don't want to

Could I be the one to walk along

With you

Feeling alright, if I could

Feeling alright, if I could

Could I be the one you talk ‘bout in

All of you oh

Feeling alright, if you don’t

Have to say it if you don't want to

Could I be the one to walk along

With you

Feeling alright, if I could

Feeling alright, if I could

Could I be the one you talk ‘bout in

All of you oh

Feeling alright, if you don’t

Have to say it if you don't want to

Could I be the one to walk along

With you

Feeling alright, if I could

Feeling alright, if I could

Could I be the one you talk ‘bout in

All of you oh
