It Should Have Been You (Larry Levan Mix) - Gwen Guthrie

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]

I saw my love walking down the aisle And as he passed me by He turned to me and gave me a smile Then the preacher, then the preacher The preacher joined their hands And all the people, the people began to stand When I shouted "You know that it should have been me" Instead of her walking with you You know that it should have been me, oh baby Gettin' ready to marry you, darlin', darlin', darlin' You made a promise that we would never part Then you turned around and you 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 Instead of her standing by you You know that it should have been me It should have been me Gettin' ready to say, "I do" Then the preacher, oh yeah The preacher asked that there be silence, please If any objections to this wedding Speak now or forever or forever hold your peace Then I shouted, "It should have been me" You know that it should have been me You know that it should have been me Baby, how could you do this to me? Darlin', darlin', darlin' It should have been me Don't you know that it should have been me? You know that it should have been me It should have been me I've been faithful to you, baby, baby, baby It should have been me How could you do this to me? You know that it should have been me

Don't know this people, and their lonely eyes Walking through the crowd, with my head down We all got choices, gotta leave, some behind We all got reasons, to change our lives Why am I here? Still chasin' the lie? I should have been there, I should have tried, It's a long way back, from your head to your heart And I-I-I I should have been there for you I should have been there for you I should have been there for you Oh oh For you, Oh oh I should have been there for you Oh oh For you, Oh oh I should have been there for you Oh oh For you, Oh oh My days are numbered, like a rainbow I'm walking the streets, in the same clothes Why am I here? Still chasin' the lie? I should have been there, I should have tried It's a long way back, from your head to your heart And I-I-I I should have been there for you I should have been there for you I should have been there for you Oh oh For you, Oh oh (Ooooh...) I should have been there for you I should have been there for you (Ooooh...) I should have been there for you I should have been there for you I should have been there for you Oh oh For you, Oh oh (Should have been there for you...) I should have been there for you Oh oh For you, Oh oh (Should have been there for you...) I should have been there for you...

Jesus Christ was a man who traveled through the land Hard working man and brave He said to the rich, "Give your goods to the poor." So they laid Jesus Christ in his grave. Jesus was a man, a carpenter by hand His followers true and brave One dirty little coward called Judas Iscariot Has laid Jesus Christ in his grave He went to the sick, he went to the poor, And he went to the hungry and the lame; Said that the poor would one day win this world, And so they laid Jesus Christ in his grave. He went to the preacher, he went to the sheriff, Told them all the same; Sell all of your jewelry and give it to the Poor, But they laid Jesus Christ in his grave. When Jesus came to town, the working folks around, Believed what he did say; The bankers and the preachers they nailed him on a cross, And they laid Jesus Christ in his grave. Poor working people, they follered him around, Sung and shouted gay; Cops and the soldiers, they nailed him in the air, And they nailed Jesus Christ in his grave. Well the people held their breath when they heard about his death, And everybody wondered why; It was the landlord and the soldiers that he hired. That nailed Jesus Christ in the sky. When the love of the poor shall one day turn to hate. When the patience of the workers gives away "Would be better for you rich if you never had been born" So they laid Jesus Christ in his grave. This song was written in New York City Of rich men, preachers and slaves Yes, if Jesus was to preach like he preached in Galillee, They would lay Jesus Christ in his grave. Sung to Jesse James
