Mmm

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 {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, 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 {I kept} inside {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}
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 {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

{Could`ve been, should`ve been you}
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
Come on
