Brian McKnight — Shoulda Been Lovin’ You

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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) [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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) [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Aaaaah, aaaah, aaaaah, aaaah Aaaaah, aaaah, aaaaah, aaaah Aaaaah, aaaah, aaaaah, aaaah Aaaaah, aaaah, aaaaah, aaaah
