Teddy Pendergrass - It Should've Been You lyrics

rate me

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
