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
