It Should Have Been Me

I saw my love walking down the aisle

And as he passed me by, he turned and he smiled

Mmm, the preacher joined their hands

And all 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

Getting ready to marry you!

"Darling, darling

You made a promise that we'd never part

Then you turned around and broke my heart

Now you're standing there saying, 'I do'

Holding hands with somebody new

It should have been me (Hey, hey, hey! It should've been me)

Instead of her standing by you (Hey, hey, hey! It should've been me)

You know that it should have been me (Hey, hey, hey! It should've been me)

Getting ready to say 'I do!'" (Hey, hey, hey! It should've been me)

Mmm, then the preacher

Asked that there be silence, please

If any objections to this wedding

Speak now or forever, forever hold your peace

Then I shouted

"It should have been me! (Should've been me)

You know that it should have been me (Should've been me)

You know that it should have been me (Should've been me)

Darling, how could you do this to me?! (Should've been me)

People let me tell you now

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

Instead of her standing by you (Should've been me)

You know that it should have been me (Should've been me)

I've always been faithful and true!" (Should've been me)
