Neil Diamond - It Should Have Been Me lyrics

I think of you now and then

'Cause I remember when

Love was new and you were mine

my love

So why should we pretend

We were lovers but now we're friends

Don't want to say good-bye to you again

my love

It should have been me

that's holding you instead of someone else

I needed you but never let it show

It should have been me

that's loving you through all the lonely nights

I knew that I should have never let you go

my love

What we once had is gone

No tears, no right, no wrong

We could never be the same again

my love

The more we see the less we know

You still believe our love could grow

Don't want to say good-bye to you again

my love

It should have been me

that's holding you instead of someone else

I needed you but never let it show

It should have been me

that's loving you through all the lonely nights

I knew that I should have never let you go

my love

How will I survive

with another broken heart

On my own again

Just a lonely man

Looking for a place to start

It should have been me

that's holding you instead of someone else

I needed you but never let it show

It should have been me

that's loving you through all the lonely nights

I knew that I should have never let you go

my love

My love
