lyrics

So you run around
Chasing people that don’t even want you
Time and time again trying to prove
Yourself, when there’s no reason for these motions you go thru

You see you’re playing with your life

I know it hurts now
But I promise you’ll know joy again
Eve-ry-body ain’t meant to stay
This time you gotta walk your way

Girl get yourself together
Your mama raised you better
You’re stressing out your own mindset
And what’s to gain from all this?


Hook:
It Should’ve Been ME, that you chose
(Oooh I will never let you down)
It Should’ve Been ME, now you know
(I will always uphold your crown)
It Should’ve Been ME, now you know
(Baby, never let yourself down)
It Should’ve Been ME, now you know


Remember who you are
This ain’t no time to be caught up
In a cycle that will never ever change
You’ll never get those old days back
nor will it ever be the same
…be the same

Instead of choosing them
You should’ve put yourself first
Because you’ve thrown your own life
into a world of hurt
…yeah baby!

Know better do lesser harm
Care for your mind and heart
You’re blessed with a brand new start
This is a lesson I don’t want to have to learn again


Hook:
It Should’ve Been ME, that you chose
(Oooh I will never let you down)
It Should’ve Been ME, now you know
(I will always uphold your crown)
It Should’ve Been ME, now you know
(Baby, don’t let yourself down)
It Should’ve Been ME, now you know
(Always listen to your heart and your mind…your Spirit…your Ancestors!)
It Should’ve Been ME, now you know
It Should’ve Been ME, now you know
(Lesson Learned Baby! Lesson Learned, Yes!)
It Should’ve Been ME, now you know
(Bye Bye, Baby)
