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      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      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      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      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
