I saw my love walking down the aisle
And as he passed me by He turned and gave me a smile Then, the preacher, then the preacher The preacher joined their hands And all the people, all the people began to stand When I shouted, "you know it should have been me" (Instead of her walking with you) You are leaving me stranded You know that it should have been me baby Oh baby gettin' ready to marry you Darlin' darlin' darlin' You made a promise that we would never part Then you turned around and 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 (I can't stand it) Instead of her standing by you You know that it should have been me It should have been me (Baby don't do it) Then the preacher oh yeah the preacher asked That there be silence please If anybody objects to this wedding Speak now or forever or forever hold your peace Thin I shouted, "It should have been me" You know that it should have been me Don't you know that it should have been me You know that it should have been me I've been faithful to you baby, baby, baby You were leaving me stranded |

Sunshine blue skies please go away
The girl has found another and gone away. With her went my future my life is filled with gloom So day after day I stay locked up in my room. I know to you, it might sound strange but I wish it would rain, Cause so badly I wanna go outside But everyone knows that a man ain't supposed to cry Listen, I gotta cry 'cause crying eases the pain, Oh yeah, people this hurt I feel inside. Words could never explain, I just wish it would rain. Day in day out my tear-stained face Pressed against the window pain, My eyes search the skies desperately for rain, Cause rain-drops will hide my tear -drops And no one will ever know that I'm crying, Crying when I go outside. To the world outside my tears, I refuse to explain, oh I wish it would rain, let it rain, let it rain. I need rain to disguise the tears in my eyes. Oh, let it rain. I'm a man and I got my pride Til' it rains I'm gonna stay inside and let it rain. ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By STRONG, BARRETT/WHITFIELD, NORMAN J./PENZABENE, RODGER, SR. <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing</i> |

Well, well, well, well
Seems like it was only yesterday When my mama told me don't fall in love With the first guy that comes your way He was handsome and nice But I took her advice and passed him by Years have passed and don't look Like love's gonna give me a second try Boy the look on your face tells me you understand could it be your love life's like mine Needs a helping hand well, well You need love like I do (don't you). Boy I can tell by the way You look when I'm looking at you I know it ain't fit and proper for a girl to talk this way But I can't cope with this loneliness Not one more doggone day Everyday has been an uphill climb Keeping my hopes a-float Judging from your silence boy You must be in the same boat ain't it true now You need love like I do (don't you) Boy I can tell by the way you look When I'm looking at you Well, well, well you need love Like I do (don't you) Boy it seems like I'm looking in the mirror When I'm looking at you I can't begin to tell The many nights I sit home lonely Come on and tell me boy Has it ever happened to you Boy I'm gonna tell you something And believe me it ain't no joke My love life is just like a sinking boat I can understand a person being without money But there sho' ain't no reason For a person to be without love Listen to me now I'm a girl and you're a guy So come on let's give love a try Tell me lil' boy You need love like I do (don't you) I can tell by the way you look When I'm looking at you Boy finding true love is a dream That everyone wants to come true Boy can't you see it's up to us To make this dream come true oh. |

Gladys Knight & The Pips (Sawyer/McMurray/Jones) If I were you woman And you were my man You'd have no other woman You'd be weak as a lamb If you had the strenght To walk out that door My love would over rule my sense And I'd call you back for more If I were your woman If you were my woman If I were your woman If you were my woman If I were your woman If you were my woman And you were my man Yeah She tears you down Darling Says you're nothing at all But I'll pick you up Darling When she lets you fall You're like a diamond And she treats you like glass Yet you make it hard to love you But Babe don't ask If I were your woman If you were my woman If I were your woman If you were my woman If I were your woman If you were my woman Here's what I'd do I'd never no, no, no stop loving you Yeah Life is so crazy And love is unkind Because she came first Will she hang on your mind You're a part of me And you don't even know it I'm what you need But I'm too afraid to show it If I were your woman If you were my woman If I were your woman If you were my woman If I were your woman If you were my woman Here's what I'd do I'd never, no, no, no stop loving you If I were your woman Here's what I'd do I'd never, never, never stop loving you If I were your woman You're sweet lovin' woman If I were your woman If you were my woman If I were your woman If you were my woman If I were your woman If you were my woman... ...you'd need no other woman |

Take the ribbon from my hair
Shake it loose and let it fall Laying soft against your skin Like the shadows on the the wall Come and lay down by my side Till the early morning light All I'm taking is your time Help me make it through the night I don't care what's right or wrong I won't try to understand Let the devil take tomorrow 'Cause tonight I need a friend Yesterday is dead and gone And tomorrow is out of sight And it's sad to be alone Help me make it through the night And it's sad to be alone Help me make it through the night I don't want to be alone Help me make it through the night - |

It's sad to think we're not gonna be here
And it's gotten to the point Where we just can't fake it For some ungodly reason We just won't let it be I guess neither one of us Neither one of us wants to be the first to say good-bye I keep wondering Wondering What I'm gonna do without you And I guess you must be wondering the same thing too So we go on Go on together Living a lie Because I guess neither one of us Neither one of us wants to be the first to say good-bye Everytime I find the nerve Everytime I find the nerve to say I'm leaving Memories Those old memories get in my way Lord knows it's only me Only know it's me That I'm missing you When it comes to saying good-bye That a simple word that I just cannot say There can be no way There can be no way This can have a happy ending No, no So we just go on Hurting and pretending Convincing ourselves to give it just one more try Because I guess neither one of us Neither one of us wants to be the first to say Neither one of us wants to be the first to say Neither one of us wants to be the first to say Farewell my love Goodbye |
