it should have been me - carly simon

I think of you now and then
But I remember when love was new

And you were mine, my love

So why would we pretend

We were lovers and now we're friends

I don't want to say goodbye to you

Again, my love

[Chorus:]

It should have been me

That's lovin' you instead of someone else

I needed you but how was I to know

It should have been me

That's holding you through all the lonely nights

I knew that I should never let you go,

My love

What we once had is gone

No tears, no right, no wrong

It could never be the same again, my love

The more we see the less we know

Now you believe our love will grow

I don't want to say goodbye to you again,

My love

[Chorus]

My love, how would I survive

With another broken heart

On my own again

When I need a friend

To help me find a place to start

[Chorus]
