It Should Have Been Me Lyrics - 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]
