[Verse 1] Everybody's laughin' in my mind Rumours spreadin' 'bout this other guy Do you do what you did when you did with me? Does he love you the way I can? Did you forget all the plans that you made with me? 'Cause, baby, I didn't [Chorus] That should be me holdin' your hand That should be me makin' you laugh That should be me, this is so sad That should be me, that should be me That should be me feelin' your kiss That should be me buyin' you gifts This is so wrong, I can't go on 'Til you believe that that should be me, that should be me [Verse 2] You said you needed a little time for my mistakes It's funny how you used that time to have me replaced Did you think that I wouldn't see you out at the movies? What you doin' to me? You're takin' him where we used to go Now, if you're tryna break my heart, it's working 'cause you know that [Chorus] That should be me holdin' your hand That should be me makin' you laugh That should be me, this is so sad That should be me, that should be me That should be me feelin' your kiss That should be me buyin' you gifts This is so wrong, I can't go on 'Til you believe that that should be me [Bridge] I need to know, should I fight for love or disarm? It's gettin' harder to shield this pain in my heart Oooh [Chorus] That should be me holdin' your hand That should be me makin' you laugh That should be me, this is so sad That should be me, that should be me That should be me feelin' your kiss That should be me buyin' you gifts This is so wrong, I can't go on 'Til you believe that that should be me Holdin' your hand, that should be me The one makin' you laugh oh baby, oh that should be me That should be me givin' you flowers, that should be me talking for hours That should be me, that should be me, that should be me [Outro] Never shoulda let you go, I never shoulda let you go That should be me I'm never gonna let you go That should be me I never shoulda let you go I'm never gonna let you go That should be me I'm never gonna let you go
