Shoulda Been Lovin' You
Brian McKnight
Uuuuum
Thinking about all the times
I let you down
Now both my feet are firmly
planted on the ground
Hurting you was never in my plan
I was trying to be the man
I try to reach you
But you won't answer my call
And I don't blame ya
I never dreamed that you
you'd want nothing to do with me
I know it's true shoulda been
Instead of running around
I should've been loving you
shoulda been
Instead of breaking your heart
shoulda been loving you
And baby I'm so sorry
shoulda been loving you
for the things I put you through
shoulda been loving you
Now I'm starring in the mirror
shoulda been loving you
at a fool
Who should been loving you
shoulda been
Who shoulda been loving you
shoulda been
Oooooooh
shoulda been loving you
I'm thinking about every time
I lied unto your face
You saw right through me
but still you gave me my space
Shouldn't have to
tell a grown man what to do
I thought I was so damn cool
Baby I miss you but you're
moving on with your life
And I can't stop you
I could have never surmised
that I'd be standing
all alone with tears
falling from my eyes
I know it's true shoulda been
Instead of running around
I should've been loving you
shoulda been
Instead of breaking your heart
shoulda been loving you
And baby I'm so sorry
shoulda been loving you
for the things I put you through
shoulda been loving you
Now I'm starring in the mirror
shoulda been loving you
at a fool
Who should been loving you
Aaaaah aaaah aaaaah aaaah
Aaaaah aaaah aaaaah aaaah
There's what you want
You walk away from me
This is not this is not the way
it was supposed to be
Heaven knows how hard I prayed
that Jesus could find a way
I would've have done
I would've have said
anything to make you stay
This is not like
anything in my life
that I've ever felt
What am I gonna do
the first time
I see you hooked up
with somebody else
I think I might lose my mind
Inside my heart will be bleeding
That what I get
That's what I deserve
For being out there cheating
it's true shoulda been
Instead of running around
I should've been loving you
shoulda been
Instead of breaking your heart
shoulda been loving you
And baby I'm so sorry
shoulda been loving you
for the things I put you through
shoulda been loving you
Now I'm starring in the mirror
shoulda been loving you
at a fool
Who should been loving you
shoulda been
Instead of running around
I should've been loving you
shoulda been
Instead of breaking your heart
shoulda been loving you
And baby I'm so sorry
shoulda been loving you
for the things I put you through
shoulda been loving you
Now I'm starring in the mirror
shoulda been loving you
at a fool
Who should been loving you
Aaaaah aaaah aaaaah aaaah
Aaaaah aaaah aaaaah aaaah
Aaaaah aaaah aaaaah aaaah
Aaaaah aaaah aaaaah aaaah
