Carly Simon "It Should Have Been Me" Songtext

It Should Have Been Me

I think of you now and thenBut I remember when love was newAnd you were mine, my loveSo why should we pretendWe were lovers but now we're friendsI don't want to say goodbye to you again, my love

It should have been meThat's loving you instead of someone elseI needed you but how was I to knowIt should have been meThat's holding you through all the lonely nightsI knew that I should never let you go, my love

What we once had is goneNo tears, no right, no wrongIt could never be the same again, my loveThe more we see the less we knowNow you believe our love will growI don't want to say goodbye to you again, my love

It should have been meThat's holding you instead of someone elseI needed you but never let it showIt should have been meThat's loving you through all the lonely nightsI knew that I should never let you go

My love, how would I surviveWith another broken heartOn my own againWhen I need a friendTo help me find a place to start

It should have been meThat's holding you instead of someone elseI needed you but how was I to knowIt should have been meThat's loving you through all the lonely nightsI knew that I should never let you go,My love...

My love...
