It Should've Been You

Oh, baby

Oh, baby

I dreamed of you last night

And, oh, your face was so very clear

All I could do is think about the good times

That you and I used to share

I can still remember the last time

Oh, I held you in my arms

But, all those days have come and gone now

And all I seem to do is cry

It hurts

(It hurts)

Remembering how things used to be

We thought our love

(Our love)

Could last throughout eternity

Now it's history, baby

It should've been you, oh, babe

It should've been me

It would've been all

Those things that life was meant to be

But if I had you, oh, girl

This time you'd see

You would have all the love

I kept

(I kept)

Inside

(Inside)

Of me

Well, have you got somebody else?

Yes, I've got somebody too

But, you know, I finally realized

No one could ever take the place of you, no

I'm not one to place the blame

On for whatever the fault just might be

All I need is to find a little happiness

More in life that will fulfill me

It's you

(It's you)

It's you that means more to me

Without your love

It's nothin' more than a fantasy

Baby, come back to me, oh-oh

It should've been you, oh, girl

It should've been me

It would've been all those things

That life was meant to be

It should've been you

It should've been me

We could've built a love so strong

But my eyes were closed and I didn't see

(It should've been you)

Oh, it should've been you, baby

It should've been me

It would've been all those things in life

All that was meant to be

Meant to be

(Should've been, should've been you)

Meant to be, baby

Oh, if I had you, girl

This time you'd see

This time you would have all the love

All the love, all the love, I kept up inside of me

You know? So much time has passed since

Since you and I have been together

So much time 'til I

I don't know quite how to start

All I know is that from that day until this

You remain on my mind and in my heart

You know? It was never really clear

Just what went wrong

I guess, that's why I had to write this song

If I knew then what I know now

I would have never let you go

No way, no how

Oh, it hurts

(It hurts)

Remembering how things used to be

(Everyday)

We thought our love

Would last throughout eternity

(You have a new lover)

Now, it's history, oh-oh, baby

(It should've been, it should've been you)

Oh, it should've been you

(It should've been you, baby)

It should've been me

(It should've been me)

It might have been all those things in life

(All those things in life)

That was meant to be

(That was meant to be)

Oh, baby

I know, I know, I know, I know

It should've been you, baby

Should've been me

We could have built a love so strong

(We could have built a love so strong)

But I know my eyes were closed

(My eyes)

And I didn't see

(Should've been, should've been you)

Oh-oh, it should've been you

(Should've been you, baby)

Oh, it should've been me

(Should've been you and me)

Oh, it would've been all those things in life

That was meant to be, that was meant to be

Oh-oh, baby

(Should've been, should've been you)

Oh, I know if I had you, girl

I know this time you'd see

(This time you'd see)

I'd show you, baby

(I'd show you, baby)

(All the love)

You would have all my love

All the love, all the love

(I kept inside)

I kept wrapped up inside of me, oh, yeah

(Should've been, should've been)

Why don't you give me one more chance?

(Why don't you?)

If you wanna be with me

(Should've been you)

Take a chance with me, baby

I woke up this morning with you on my mind

(Should've been)

Oh, baby, baby

(Should've been you)

Oh, baby

Come on

Try it again

(Should've been)

Let's start all over

(Should've been)

We can make it work this time

(Should've been you)

Come on
