Lay down by my side, the truth won't hurt me now

Even in this last goodbye, there is beauty we can't deny

Maybe, maybe, maybe it's a crime dear...

Maybe, maybe, maybe i don't want to see

Why you give yourself away... when...



It should have been me, should have been my love

It should have been me, should have been my kind of love

Escape with me tonight, this moment is all there is

When the morning comes we're cast aside, now there's farewell in every kiss

You stumble through emotions with great and deep concern

You cross my line of defence, you know how weakness makes me yearn

Then you throw my love away, afraid of what you see

Hell, you ought to know by now...



It should have been me, should have been my love

It should have been me, should have been my kind of love

When you walk beside him down the aisle in your brilliant wedding dress

When the ring is on your finger, and he wants you to get undressed

Will you fall into his arms, will you set his spirit free, will he ever get to know...

It should have been me

Maybe, maybe, maybe i'm alone here

Maybe, maybe, maybe i don't want to see

When you give yourself away...

It should have been me, should have been my love

It should have been me, should have been my kind of love
