Shoulda Been Lovin' You - Brian McKnight

Thinking 'bout 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 you

I never dreamed that you

You’d want nothing to do with me

I know it’s true

(Shoulda been)

Instead of runnin' around, I should’ve been lovin' you

(Shoulda been)

Instead of breaking your heart

(Shoulda been lovin' you)

And baby, I’m so sorry for the things I put you through

(Shoulda been lovin' you)

Now I’m staring at the mirror at a fool

Who should been lovin' you

(Shoulda been)

Who shoulda been lovin' you

(Shoulda been)

Oooooooh

(Shoulda been lovin' you)

I’m thinking 'bout every time I lied to 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 fallin' from my eyes

I know it’s true

(Shoulda been)

Instead of runnin' around, I should’ve been lovin' you

(Shoulda been)

Instead of breaking your heart

(Shoulda been lovin' you)

And baby, I’m so sorry for the things I put you through

(Shoulda been lovin' you)

Now I’m staring at the mirror at a fool

Who should been lovin' you

(Shoulda been)

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 have done, I would 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’s what I get, that’s what I deserve

For being out there cheating

I know it’s true

(Shoulda been)

Instead of runnin' around, I should’ve been lovin' you

(Shoulda been)

Instead of breaking your heart

(Shoulda been lovin' you)

And baby, I’m so sorry for the things I put you through

(Shoulda been lovin' you)

Now I’m staring at the mirror at a fool

Who should been lovin' you

(Shoulda been)

Instead of runnin' around, I should’ve been lovin' you

(Shoulda been)

Instead of breaking your heart

(Shoulda been lovin' you)

And baby, I’m so sorry for the things I put you through

(Shoulda been lovin' you)

Now I’m staring at the mirror at a fool

Who should been lovin' you

Aaaaah, aaaah, aaaaah, aaaah

Aaaaah, aaaah, aaaaah, aaaah

Aaaaah, aaaah, aaaaah, aaaah

Aaaaah, aaaah, aaaaah, aaaah
