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
