Lyric discussion by Aeonmikey 

Cover art for I Could Have Been You lyrics by Melissa Etheridge

all i can say about this song was this was the first song she wrote for Your Little Secret album. I also read that was when her chat room on her website was taking off and melissa started jumping online chatting with fans. one fan didn't believe it was melissa and missy told the fan that this was the first song she had for the album and called the fan up. The fan was overthrilled!
