It Should've Been You - Teddy Pendergrass

I dreamed of you last night

And oh, your face was so very clear

All I could do was think about the good times

That you and I used to share

I could remember the last time

Oh, I held you in my arms

But all those days have come and gone now

And all I seem to do is cry

It hurts

Remembering how things used to be We thought our love

Could last throughout eternity

Now it’s history, baby

It should’ve been you, whoa

It should’ve been me It should’ve been all those that life

Was meant to be But if I had you, oh, babe

This time you’d see

You would have all my love

I kept inside me Now you’ve got somebody else

Yes, I’ve got somebody too

But you know I’ve finally realized

No one could ever take the place of you, no

I’m not the one to place the blame

Or for whatever the fault just might be All I need is to find a little happiness

Oh, in life that will fulfill me It’s you

It’s you that means more to me Without your love

It’s nothin' more than fantasy

Baby, come back to me, whoa

It should’ve been you, whoa

It should’ve been me It should’ve been all those that life

Was meant to be It should’ve been you

It should’ve been me We could’ve built a love so strong

But my eyes were closed and I didn’t see

Oh, it should’ve been you

It should’ve been me It could’ve been all the that life

Was meant to be, was meant to be, meant to be, babe

Oh, if I had you, girl

This time you’ll see

This time you would have all the love

That I kept, oh, I kept, I kept inside of me Oh, it hurts

Remembering how things used to be We thought our love

Could last throughout eternity

Now it’s history, whoa, baby

It should’ve been you (It should’ve been you, baby)

It should’ve been me (Should've been me)

It could’ve been all those in life (All those things in life)

That was meant to be (That was meant to be), oh, baby

I know, I know, I know, I know it should’ve you

It should’ve been me We could’ve built a love so strong (We could’ve built a love so strong)

But my eyes were closed and I didn’t see

It should’ve been you (It should’ve been you, baby)

Oh, it should’ve been me (Should've been you and me)

It could’ve been all those in life

That was meant to be, that was meant to be, oh Oh, I know if I had you, girl

I know this time you’ll see (This time you’ll see)

I’ll show you, baby (I'll show you, baby)

You could have all my love

All the love, all the love I kept wrapped up inside of me, oh yeah

Why don’t you give me one more chance (Why don’t you)

If you wanna be with me Take a chance with me, baby

I woke up this morning with you on my mind

Oh, baby

Oh, baby

Come on Try it again

Let’s start all over

We can make it work this time
