It Should Have Been Me

I saw my love walking down the aisle

And as he passed me by

He turned to me and gave me a smile

Then the preacher, then the preacher

The preacher joined their hands

And all the people, the people began to stand

When I shouted

"You know that it should have been me"

Instead of her walking with you

You know that it should have been me, oh baby

Gettin' ready to marry you, darlin', darlin', darlin'

You made a promise that we would never part

Then you turned around and you 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

Instead of her standing by you

You know that it should have been me

It should have been me

Gettin' ready to say, "I do"

Then the preacher, oh yeah

The preacher asked that there be silence, please

If any objections to this wedding

Speak now or forever or forever hold your peace

Then I shouted, "It should have been me"

You know that it should have been me

You know that it should have been me

Baby, how could you do this to me? Darlin', darlin', darlin'

It should have been me

Don't you know that it should have been me?

You know that it should have been me

It should have been me

I've been faithful to you, baby, baby, baby

It should have been me

How could you do this to me?

You know that it should have been me
