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 could 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
|
It should've been me
|
It would've been all those things in life
|
Was meant to be
|
|
But if I had you, oh babe
|
This time you'd see
|
You would have all my love
|
I kept inside of me
|
(I kept inside)
|
|
Well, have you got somebody else
|
Yes, I've got somebody too
|
But you know I've finally realized
|
No one could ever take the place of you, no
|
|
I'm not the one to place the blame
|
Or for whatever the fault just might be
|
All I need is to find a little happiness
|
Oh, 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 fantasy
|
Baby, come back to me
|
|
It should've been you, oh girl
|
It should've been me
|
It would've been all those things in 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
|
|
Oh, it should've been you, baby
|
It should've been me
|
It would've been all those things in life
|
That was meant to be, was meant to be, meant to be, babe
|
|
Oh, if I had you, girl
|
This time you'll see
|
This time you would have all the love
|
All the love, all the love that I kept inside of me
|
|
You know so much time has passed
|
Since you and I've being together
|
So much time till 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 I was never really clear
|
Just what went wrong
|
|
I guess that's why I had to write this song
|
If I know then what I know now
|
I would have never let you go
|
No way, no
|
|
Oh, it hurts
|
(It hurts)
|
Remembering how things used to be
|
We thought our love
|
Could last throughout eternity
|
Now it's history, whoa, baby
|
|
It should've been you
|
It should've been me
|
It might've been all those things in life
|
That was meant to be
|
|
I know, I know, I know, I know it should've you
|
It should've been me
|
We could've built a love so strong
|
But my eyes were closed and I can't be seen
|
|
It should've been you
|
Oh, it should've been me
|
It would've been all those things in life
|
That was meant to be, that was meant to be, oh
|
|
Oh, I know if I had you, girl
|
I know this time you'll see
|
I'll show you, baby
|
You could have all my love
|
All the love, all the love I kept wrapped up inside of me, oh yeah
|
|
Why don't you give me one more chance
|
If you wanna be with me
|
Take a chance with me, baby
|
I woke up this morning with you on my mind
|
|
Oh, baby
|
Oh, baby
|
Come on
|
Try it again
|
Let's start all over
|
We can make it work this time
|
Come on
|
|

It Should've Been You
