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
