Neil Diamond - It Should Have Been Me Lyrics






I think of you now and then
'Cause I remember when
Love was new and you were mine
My love

So why should we pretend
We were lovers but now we're friends
Don't want to say good-bye to you again
My love

It should have been me
That's holding you instead of someone else
I needed you but never let it show
It should have been me
That's loving you
Through all the lonely nights
I knew that I should have never let you go
My love

What we once had is gone
No tears, no right, no wrong
We could never be the same again
My love

The more we see the less we know
You still believe our love could grow
Don't want to say good-bye to you again
My love

It should have been me
That's holding you instead of someone else
I needed you but never let it show
It should have been me
That's loving you
Through all the lonely nights
I knew that I should have never let you go
My love

How will I survive
With another broken heart
On my own again
Just a lonely man
Looking for a place to start

It should have been me
That's holding you instead of someone else
I needed you but never let it show
It should have been me
That's loving you
Through all the lonely nights
I knew that I should have never let you go
My love
My love

    Now listen to Carly Simon's cover of this song and then imagine Diamond and Simon as duet on the song!

  6. A.... H....

    been looking for this song since 1985 had it on tape. good to hear it again, loved it then and love it now.

  7. j.... ....

    Both are GOOD!

  8. s.... s....

    then by all means listen to it and don't post this stuff here. is that to much to ask?

    Excellent.....

  10. j.... t....

    nice, but I prefer the one from Carly Simon

  11. t.... ....

    Great song!

  12. B.... ....

    Michael Landau and Dann Huff both supposedly played
    on this recording. Jason Scheff from Chicago (18 on)
    played the bass.
    I wasn't crazy about the bass guitar on this song, but
    perhaps he was playing want they wanted. I thought
    someone like Neil Stubenhaus would have mixed it up
    more.

  13. R.... R....

    One of the vast number of 'good' songs overlooked during ND's awkward period of 'big overproduced 10,000pc orchestra albums. Great lyrics, excellent guitar!

  14. T.... ....

    I've always loved this song. Speaking of which, "It Should Have..." had a place on the charts.

  15. 4.... ....

    Wow! Thanks for posting this!

  16. R.... C....

    I have been looking for this for awhile now. Thanks for posting. This song is so great !
    The tormented vocals and the angry guitar! with a bass guitar urging the anger on.
    Fabulous!
