It Should Have Been Me Loving Her

Every morning I look to the sky
And say, «Lord, help me»
I know this is my daily prayer
I can’t help myself
I have to ask you repeatedly
Please don’t let me see that face
It’s just too much to bear
It brings back all the memories
Of the love we shared
It should have been me loving her
It should have been me, oh
The whole town knew
She would soon be my bride
And everywhere you saw me, you saw her
Standing by my side
But somehow he came in and wooed her away
No matter how I tried I couldn’t make her stay
It should have been me loving her
It should have been me, oh
For the life of me, I can’t understand
Why she chose another man
'Cause at her feet, I placed the world
Nothing was too much for that girl
Oh, it should have been me, baby, ooh
Oh, put yourself in my place a minute or two
And you’ll see why my world is so blue
Don’t know why she took it on herself
To make my future a jumbled mess
It should have been me, girl
Oh baby, baby baby
It should have been me, loving you, loving you
It should have been me, oh baby
Loving you, little girl
