It Should Have Been You Songtext
von CeCe Peniston

It should have been you
Could have been you
It should have been you
Could have been you

When we first got together
We thought our love would stand the test
Waiting, oh, so long
Can′t settle for second best
No one else could make me feel the way you do
Broke my heart in two
When you said our love was through

It should have been you
Could have been you
It should have been you
Could have been you

Through pain, tears, and heartache
We see our love can't last
It′s time for new beginnings
Can't live in the past


With my back to the wind
I face a new horizon
Believe me when I say that it's true
Even though our love is through

It should have been you (oh, I know, I know)
Could have been you
It should have been you (you)
Could have been you

I been searchin′ such a long time (it should have been you)
True love′s so hard to find (could have been you)
I been searchin' such a long time (it should have been you)
True love′s so hard to find (could have been you)
I been searchin' such a long time
True love′s so hard to find
I been searchin' such a long time
True love′s so hard to find
I been searchin' such a long time
True love's so hard to find
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh-oh, yeah

It should have been you (oh, I know, I know)
Could have been you (you)
It should have been you
Could have been you


When we first got together
We thought our love would stand the test
Waiting, oh, so long
Can′t settle for second best
No one else could make me feel the way you do
Broke my heart in two
When you said our love was through, hey

It should have been you (you)
Could have been you (oh, I know, I know)
It should have been you (mm-hm)
Could have been you

I been searchin′ such a long time (it should have been you)
True love's so hard to find (could have been you)
I been searchin′ such a long time (it should have been you)
True love's so hard to find (could have been you)
I been searchin′ such a long time
True love's so hard to find
I been searchin′ such a long time
True love's so hard to find
I been searchin' such a long time
True love′s so hard to find
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh-oh, yeah

I been searchin′ such a long time (it should have been you)
Wonder, will I ever find? (Could have been you)
A man so true (it should have been you)
Who loves me like you used to do (could have been you)

It should have been you
Could have been you
It should have been you
Could have been you
It should have been you
Could have been you
It should have been you
