3. 가사

[Intro]
Oh baby, oh baby
Mmm

[Verse 1]
I dreamed of you last night
And oh, your face was so very clear
All I could do was think about the good times
That you and I used to share
I could still remember the last time
Oh, I held you in my arms
But all those days have come and gone now
And all I seem to do is cry

[Pre-Chorus]
It hurts (It hurts)
Remembering how things used to be
We thought our love (Our love)
Could last throughout eternity
Now it's history, baby

[Chorus]
It should've been you, whoa
It should've been me
It should've been all those that life
Was meant to be
But if I had you, oh, babe
This time you'd see
You would have all my love
I kept (I kept) inside (Inside) me

[Verse 2]
Now you've got somebody else
Yes, I've got somebody too
But you know I've finally realized
No one could ever take the place of you, no
I'm not the one to place the blame
Or for whatever the fault just might be
All I need is to find a little happiness
Oh, in life that will fulfill me

[Pre-Chorus]
It's you (It's you)
It's you that means more to me
Without your love
It's nothing more than fantasy
Baby, come back to me, whoa

[Chorus]
It should've been you, oh girl
It should've been me
It should've been all those that life
Was meant to be
It should've been you
It should've been me
We could've built a love so strong
But my eyes were closed and I didn't see
Oh, it should've been you, baby
It should've been me
It could've been all those things that life
Was meant to be, was meant to be, meant to be, baby
Oh, if I had you, girl
This time you'll see
This time you would have all the love
All the love, all the love I kept wrapped up inside of me, baby

[Spoken]
You know, so much time has passed since you and I have been together
So much time 'til I, I don't know quite how to start
All I know is that from that day until this
You remain on my mind and in my heart
And it was never really clear just what went wrong
I guess that's why I had to write this song
If I knew then what I know now
I would've never let you go, no way, no how

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, it hurts (It hurts)
Remembering how things used to be
We thought our love
Could last throughout eternity
Now it's history, whoa, baby

[Chorus]
It should've been you (It should've been you, baby)
It should've been me (Should've been me)
It could've been all those things in life (All those things in life)
That was meant to be (That was meant to be), oh, baby
I know, I know, I know, I know it should've you
It should've been me
We could've built a love so strong (We could've built a love so strong)
But my eyes were closed and I didn't see
Oh, it should've been you (It should've been you, baby)
Oh, it should've been me (Should've been you and me)
It could've been all those things in life
That was meant to be, that was meant to be, oh baby
Oh, I know if I had you, girl
I know this time you'll see (This time you'll see)
I'll show you, baby (I'll show you, baby)
You could have all my love
All the love, all the love I kept wrapped up inside of me, oh yeah

[Outro]
Why don't you give me one more chance? (Why don't you?)
If you wanna be with me
Take a chance with me, baby
I woke up this morning with you on my mind
Oh, baby, baby
Oh, baby
Come on
Try it again
Let's start all over
We can make it work this time
Come on
