Lay down by my side, the truth won't hurt me now   Even in this last goodbye, there is beauty we can't deny   Maybe, maybe, maybe it's a crime dear...   Maybe, maybe, maybe I don't want to see   Why you give yourself away... when...      It should have been me, should have been my love   It should have been me, should have been my kind of love   Escape with me tonight, this moment is all there is   When the morning comes we're cast aside, now there's farewell in every kiss   You stumble through emotions with great and deep concern   You cross my line of defence, you know how weakness makes me yearn   Then you throw my love away, afraid of what you see   Hell, you ought to know by now...      It should have been me, should have been my love   It should have been me, should have been my kind of love   When you walk beside him down the aisle in your brilliant wedding dress   When the ring is on your finger, and he wants you to get undressed   Will you fall into his arms, will you set his spirit free, will he ever get to know...   It should have been me   Maybe, maybe, maybe I'm alone here   Maybe, maybe, maybe I don't want to see   When you give yourself away...   It should have been me, should have been my love   It should have been me, should have been my kind of love
