It Should Have Been Me
Lyrics
I saw my love walking down the aisle
And as he passed me by
He turned to me and gave me a smile
I just had to cry
Then the preacher
He began to say (what did he say?)
If there is anyone who
Objects to this marriage
I want you to raise your hand
Wait a minute, stop the track Mike
This is not the way I wanna do it
Yo Eddie, kick it!
This is not the way I wanna sing this song
Ah ah oh oh
Ay-yi-yi
I saw my love walking down the aisle
And as he passed me by
He turned to me and gave me a smile
I just had to sigh
Then the preacher, then the preacher
He joined their hands
All the people, all of the people
They began to stand
When I shouted
It should have been me
(Should've been me) oh oh oh
It should have been me
(Why not me?)
It should have been me
(Should've been me) oh woh oh
It should have been me
(Why not me?) Oh oh oh oh
It should have been, could have been
(Should've been me)
It should have been, could have been
(Why not me?)
We made a promise that we'd never part
And now you break my heart
(You breaking my heart)
And you're standing there
Saying that I do
Holding hands with somebody new
And then the preacher
Asked for silence please
Don't nobody speak
It should have been me
(Should've been me) oh oh oh
It should have been me
(Why not me?) I said, I said
It should have been me
(Should've been me) oh woh oh
It should have been me
(Why not me?) Oh oh oh oh
It should have been, could have been
(Should've been me)
It should have been, could have been
(Why not me?)
It should have been, could have been
(Should've been me)
It should have been, could have been
(Why not me?)
Should've been the one that he would love
Why am I not the one that he would love
What did I do, what did I say, to make you go away (x4)
It should have been me
(Should've been me) oh oh oh
It should have been me
(Why not me?) I said, I said
It should have been me
(Should've been me) oh woh oh
It should have been me
(Why not me?) Oh oh oh oh
It should have been, could have been
(Should've been me)
It should have been, could have been
(Why not me?)
It should have been, could have been
(Should've been me)
It should have been, could have been
(Why not me?)
