I need you bad, I need you bad
I need you, I need you, I need you bad
I need you bad, I need you bad
I need you, I need you, I need you bad
It should've been you
I needed a little space
Honest, I thought you'd stay waiting
I made my last mistake
You're happy and I hate it
And now I know that I spoke too soon
Seeing how fast you made moves
I want you so bad (Now I know)
I know you, know you do, know you do
I want you back but you're gone
All on my own I miss you
I know it's too late
I want you so bad (Now I know)
I want you back but you're gone
I know you, know you do, know you do
It should've been all along
It should've been you
Closed my eyes
Yeah I can see, those times where I used to be
Well oh God, it should've been all along
It should've been you
Well how is that?
'Cause you do not think of me that often
How could I let you leave me?
Yeah, well it's too late now to stop now
And now I know that I spoke too soon
Seeing how fast you made moves
I want you so bad (Now I know)
I know you, know you do, know you do
I want you back but you're gone
All on my own I miss you
I know it's too late
I want you so bad (Now I know)
I want you back but you're gone
I know you, know you do, know you do
It should've been all along
It should've been you
Closed my eyes
Yeah I can see, those times where I used to be
Well oh God, it should've been all along
It should've been you
It should've been, should've been me
It should've been me, it should've been all along
It should've been all along
It should've been, should've been me
It should've been me, it should've been all along
It should've been all along
Hey!
It should've been you
Werk hard and give yuh everyting boo
My take yuh to my first ting too
Take ya, take ya like to go '
It should've been you
My guess that's the ting tho
I want to brand new girl, me uh sing to
Different man, yuh gon 'swing to
Him go buy yuh fi a dream too
Oh, should not the day be granted?
'Cause it should've been you all along
Now I know you feel like you're unwanted
[?] Drive her crazy like a [?]
Like you know you should not leave all of 'em
Pretend like you're happy, you'll grieve all of 'em
We were supposed to get married
The next girl I'll watch [?]
It should've been you
It should've been all along
Closed my eyes
Yeah I can see, those times where I used to be
Well oh God, it should've been all along
It should've been, should've been me
It should've been me, it should've been all along
It should've been all along
It should've been, should've been me
It should've been me, it should've been all along
It should've been all along
