Shoulda Been Lovin' You

Ooh, thinking about 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'd never dream that you

You'd want nothing to do with me

I know it's true (shoulda been)

Instead of running around

I shoulda been loving you (shoulda been)

Instead of breaking your heart (shoulda been loving you)

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

Now I'm staring in the mirror at a fool

Who shoulda been loving you (shoulda been)

Who shoulda been loving you (shoulda been, ooh)

(Shoulda been loving you)

Oh, thinking about every time I lied right 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 falling from my eyes

I know it's true (shoulda been)

Instead of running around

I shoulda been loving you (shoulda been)

Instead of breaking your heart (shoulda been loving you)

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

Now I'm staring in the mirror at a fool

Who shoulda been loving you

Oh, it's hard to watch 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 hook 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

It's true (shoulda been)

Instead of running around

I shoulda been loving you (shoulda been)

Instead of breaking your heart (shoulda been loving you)

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

Now I'm staring in the mirror at a fool

Who shoulda been loving you (shoulda been)

Instead of running around

I shoulda been loving you (shoulda been)

Instead of breaking your heart (shoulda been loving you)

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

Now I'm staring in the mirror at a fool

Who shoulda been loving you
