"It Should've Been You" Lyrics

4.0 / 5
Song updated, review now!
Oh baby, oh baby.
Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm.

I dreamed of you last night
And oh, your face was so very clear.
All I could do was 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)
Would last throughout eternity.
Now it's history, baby.

It should've been you. Whoa.
It should've been me.
It would've been all those things that life
Was meant to be.
But if I had you, oh girl,
This time you'd see
You would have all the love I kept (I kept) inside (Inside) me.
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 nothing more than a fantasy.
Baby, come back to me.
Whoa.

It should've been you, oh girl.
It should've been me.
It would've been all those things that 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 that life
Was meant to be, was meant to be, meant to be, baby.
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 I kept wrapped up inside of me, baby.

You know, so much time has passed since you and I have been 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, it was never really clear just what went wrong.
I guess that's why I had to write this song.
If I knew then what I know now, I would've never let you go, no way, no how.

Oh, it hurts (It hurts)
Remembering how things used to be.
We thought our love could last throughout eternity.
Now it's history.
Oh baby.

Oh, it should've been you. (Should've been you, baby.)
It should've been me. (Should've been me.)
It could've been all those things in life (All those things in life)
That was meant to be. (That was meant to be.)
Oh baby.
I know, I know, I know, I know it should've been you.
It should've been me.
We could've built a love so strong, (We could've built a love so strong.)
But my eyes were closed (If I had) and I didn't see.
Oh, it should've been you. (It should've been you, baby.)
Oh, it should've been me. (Should've been you and me.)
Oh, it could've been all those things in life
That was meant to be, that was meant to be, oh baby.
(Should've been, should've been you.)
Oh, I know if I had you, girl,
I know this time you'll see. (This time you'll see.)
I'll show you, baby, (I'll show you, baby.)
(All the love) You could have all my love,
All the love, all the love (I kept) I kept wrapped up inside of me, oh yeah.

Why don't you give me one more chance? (Why don't you?)
If you wanna be with me, take a chance with me, baby.
I woke up this morning with you on my mind.
(Should've been you.)
Oh, baby, baby. (Should've been you.)
Oh baby, come on, try it again. (Should've been you.)
Let's start all over. (Should've been.)
We can make it work this time. (Should've been you, should've been you.)
Come on. (Should've been, should've been.)
