“Everybody's laughing in my mind Rumors spreading 'bout this other girl Do you do what you did when you did with me Does he love you the way I can Did you forget all the plans that you made with me 'Cause baby I didn't That should be me Holdin' your hand That should be me Makin' you laugh That should be me This is so sad That should be me That should be me That should be me Feelin' your kiss That should be me Buyin' you gifts This is so wrong, I can't go on, Till you believe that That should be me That should be me You said you needed a little time for my mistakes It's funny how you use that time to have me replaced But did you think that I wouldn't see you out at the movies What you doin' to me You're takin' her where we used to go Now if you're tryin' to break my heart It's working 'cause you know that I need to know, should I fight for love or disarm It's getting harder to shield This pain in my heart Holding your hand That should be me The one making you laugh, oh baby That should be me That should be me giving you flowers That should be me Talking for hours that should be me, that should be me That should be me Never should've let you go I never should've let you go That should be me I'm never gonna let you go oh-oh-oh-ohh < 3”
