It Should Have Been Me Lyrics

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME
Gladys Knight & The Pips

I saw my love walking
down the aisle
And as he passed me by
He turned and gave me a
smile
Then, the preacher, then the preacher
The preacher joined their
hands
And all the people, all the people began to stand
When I shouted,
"you know it should have been me"
(Instead of her walking with
you)

You are leaving me stranded
You know that it should have been me
baby
Oh baby gettin' ready to marry you
Darlin' darlin' darlin'
You
made a promise that we would never part
Then you turned around and broke my
little heart
Now you're standing there saying I do
Holding hands with
somebody new
You know that it should have been me
(I can't stand
it)
Instead of her standing by you
You know that it should have been
me
It should have been me
(Baby don't do it)
Then the preacher oh yeah
the preacher asked
That there be silence please

If anybody objects to
this wedding
Speak now or forever or forever hold your peace
Thin I
shouted, "It should have been me"
You know that it should have been
me
Don't you know that it should have been me
You know that it should
have been me
I've been faithful to you baby, baby, baby
You were leaving
me stranded
