It Should Have Been Me lyrics

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME
Gladys Knight & The Pips

I saw my love walking down the aisle
And as he passed me by
He turned and gave me a smile
Then, the preacher, then the preacher
The preacher joined their hands
And all the people, all the people began to stand
When I shouted, `you know it should have been me`
(Instead of her walking with you)

You are leaving me stranded
You know that it should have been me baby
Oh baby gettin` ready to marry you
Darlin` darlin` darlin`
You made a promise that we would never part
Then you turned around and broke my little heart
Now you`re standing there saying I do
Holding hands with somebody new
You know that it should have been me
(I can`t stand it)
Instead of her standing by you
You know that it should have been me
It should have been me
(Baby don`t do it)
Then the preacher oh yeah the preacher asked
That there be silence please

If anybody objects to this wedding
Speak now or forever or forever hold your peace
Thin I shouted, `It should have been me`
You know that it should have been me
Don`t you know that it should have been me
You know that it should have been me
I`ve been faithful to you baby, baby, baby
You were leaving me stranded
