I saw my love
Walking down the aisle
And as he passed me by
He turned to me and
Gave me a smile

Then the preacher
Then the preacher
The preacher joined their hands

And all the people
The people began to stand
When I shouted

It should have been me
Oh, it should have been me
You know it should have been me
Baby, how can you do this to me

You made a promise
That we'd never part
Then you turned around
And you broke, Lord, my heart

Now you're standing there
Saying, I do
Holding hands
With somebody new

When you know that
It should have been me
Oh, it should have been me
Oh, oh, it should have been me
Baby, how can you do this to me

Then the preacher, whoa, yeah
The preacher asked that
There be silence please

If any objections to this wedding
Speak now or forever
Forever hold your peace

And I stood up and said
It should have been me
Oh, oh, it should have been me
Jumped out of my seat and screamed
It should have been me

Oh, oh, oh, hey
You're blowing my mind
People, believe me
That man is mine

It should have been me
No, oh, oh, you know
It should have been me
Oh, ho, it should have been me

Oh, ho, somebody call the police
That woman down there
Is a doggone thief

It should have been me
It should have been me
Oh, oh, It should have been me
