Teddy Pendergrass - It Should've Been You

Oh baby
Oh baby

I dreamed of you last night
And oh, your face was so very clear
All I could do is think about the good times
That you and I used to share

I could still 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
(It hurts)
Remembering how things used to be
We thought our love
(Our love)
Could last throughout eternity
Now it's history, baby

It should've been you
It should've been me
It would've been all those things in life
Was meant to be

But if I had you, oh babe
This time you'd see
You would have all the love
I kept inside of me

Well, have you 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)
It's you that means more to me
Without your love
It's nothin' more than a fantasy
Baby, come back to me

It should've been you, oh girl
It should've been me
It would've been all those things in 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, baby
It should've been me
It would've been all those things in life
That was meant to be, was meant to be, meant to be, babe

I know I know I know I know it should have been you
It should have been me
We could've built a love so strong
But my eyes were closed and I didn't see

It should've been you
Oh It should've been me
It would have been all those things in life
That was meant to be, that was meant to be (it should have been you)
