I could have been Eric Cantona If not for that girl and my aching heart Here I am, overweight and under-dressed Bathing in some alternative success I could have been the leading goal scorer If not for that girl and her snake like lure I fell in love, I can’t explain what happened But I can't play with all of these emotions I could have sailed across the seven seas And now there’s talk of us having seven kids Don’t get me wrong, it’s all ok with me and I kind of like it But I could have been Eric Cantona, he’s a movie star Where would I be without you by my side Top of the league but not diversified I just want you to know, I'm already there And I'm finding it hard to compare When this love’s too much for me to take I could have been Eric Cantona If not for that girl and my aching heart Here I am, overweight and under-dressed Bathing in some alternative success
