I wish it was me you loved - The Dells

Oh, oh, lord

All alone again

You say it’s been this way

Since you don’t know when

There are a lot of places

A woman like you could go and see

Why your man won’t take you

Is a mystery to me

Oh, I wish, how I wish

It was me you loved

Baby, I wish, how I wish

It was me you loved

Honest to god

Such a pretty thing

All locked up in

The crib by yourself

He comes home from work

Just to eat and sleep

He even make you promises

He’ll never keep

Yet you stand by him

All faithful and can be

Can’t you see you’d be better off

With a man like me

How I wish, how I wish

It was me you loved

Hey, how I wish, how I wish

It was me you loved

He’s running the streets at night

(Chasing after every skirt)

Chasing every skirt

All along, doing his dirty dirt

Oh, yes, he is

You’re sitting home all alone

While your man

He’s out having fun

Oh

(How I wish that it was me you loved)

I wish you were mine

How I wish, how I wish

(How I wish that it was me you loved)

I want you by my side

With every step I take

I want you with me

For the rest of my days

(How I wish that it was me you loved)

How I wish it was me you loved

How I wish, oh, I wish

It was me you loved

(How I wish that it was me you loved)

I’ll take you anywhere you wanna go
