It Should Have Been Me

Girls you how it is when you have a man in your life

Someone that you're truly dedicated to

Someone that you're willing to make any and all sacrifices

To make him happy

But you also know how it feels when you realize

That things arn't going the way that they oughta be going

And of course that you know that there are some of your so called friends that

They're always ready to let you know what your man is doing

And all of that stuff

Well let me share this story with you

This is a man I worked my fingers to the bone for

I put everything aside for this guy

And one day I get this telephone call that

Did you know that he's getting married today

And I say you're lyin' to me

She said: I'm tellin' you the truth honey

They're getting married at three o'clock this afternoon

Well I had to go see this for myself

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

The preacher joined their hands

And all the people, people began to stand

When I shouted

It should have been me (I can't stand it)

Oh it should have been me (you're leaving me stranded)

You know that it should have been me (it should have been me)

Oh baby how can you do this to me

Wo-wo

You made a promise that we would never part

Then you turned around and you broke my little heart

Now you're standing there saying, I do

Holding hands with somebody new

It should have been me (I can't stand it)

You know that it should have been me (you're leaving me stranded)

Oh it should have been me (it should have been me)

Baby, baby how can you do this to me

Wo-wo

Then the preacher

The preacher asked that there be silence, please

If any objections to this wedding

Speak now or forever or forever hold your peace

I shouted

It should have been me (I can't stand it)

Oh it should have been me (you're leaving me stranded)

You know that it should have been me (it should have been me)

How can you do this to me

Wo-wo

It should have been me (I can't stand it)

Don't you know that it should have been me (you're leaving me stranded)

Oh it should have been me (should have been me)

Baby how can you do this to me
