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
