It Should Have Been Me
I saw my love walking down the aisle
And as he passed me by, he turned to me and gave me a smile
Then the preacher, then the preacher
The preacher joined their hands
And all the people, the people began to stand
When I shouted
"It should've been me
Huh, no, it should've been me
You know it should've been me
Baby, how can you do this to me?" Mm
You made a promise that we'd never part
Then you turned around and you broke, no, my heart
Now you're standing there saying, "I do"
Holding hands with somebody new
When you know that it should've been me
No, it should've been me
Oh-oh-oh, oh, it should've been me
Baby, how can you do this to me?
Then the preacher, whoa, yeah
The preacher asked that there be silence please
"If any objections to this wedding
Speak now or forever, forever hold your peace"
And I stood up and said, "It should've been me"
No-oh, it should've been me
Jumped out of my seat and screamed, "It should've been me"
Oh, oh, hey
You're blowin' away my mind
People, believe me, that man is mine
It should've been me
No, oh, oh, you know it should've been me
Oh-oh, it should've been me
Oh-oh, somebody call the police
That woman down there is a doggone thief
It should've been me
Know that it should've been me
Oh-oh, It should've been me
Baby, I understood when you're out there up to no good
It should've been me, take your hands off of me
No, it should've been me...
And as he passed me by, he turned to me and gave me a smile
Then the preacher, then the preacher
The preacher joined their hands
And all the people, the people began to stand
When I shouted
"It should've been me
Huh, no, it should've been me
You know it should've been me
Baby, how can you do this to me?" Mm
You made a promise that we'd never part
Then you turned around and you broke, no, my heart
Now you're standing there saying, "I do"
Holding hands with somebody new
When you know that it should've been me
No, it should've been me
Oh-oh-oh, oh, it should've been me
Baby, how can you do this to me?
Then the preacher, whoa, yeah
The preacher asked that there be silence please
"If any objections to this wedding
Speak now or forever, forever hold your peace"
And I stood up and said, "It should've been me"
No-oh, it should've been me
Jumped out of my seat and screamed, "It should've been me"
Oh, oh, hey
You're blowin' away my mind
People, believe me, that man is mine
It should've been me
No, oh, oh, you know it should've been me
Oh-oh, it should've been me
Oh-oh, somebody call the police
That woman down there is a doggone thief
It should've been me
Know that it should've been me
Oh-oh, It should've been me
Baby, I understood when you're out there up to no good
It should've been me, take your hands off of me
No, it should've been me...
