Artist: Yvonne Fair Lyrics
Song: It Should Have Been Me Lyrics
I saw my love walking down the aisle
& as he passed me by, he turned & he smiled
The preacher joined their hands
& all the people began to stand
When I shouted:
"You know that should have been me
Instead of her walking with you
You know that it should have been me
Getting ready to marry you
Darling, darling
You made a promise that we'd never part
& then you turned around & broke my heart
Now you're standing there saying 'I do'
Holding hands with somebody new
It should have been me
Instead of her standing by you
You know that it should have been me
Getting ready to say 'I do'!"
Then the preacher asked, "Will there be silence, please?
If any objections to this wedding
Speak now or forever, forever hold your peace"
Then I shouted:
"It should have been me
You know that it should have been me
You know that it should have been me
Darling, how could you do this to me?
People let me tell you now
It should have been me
Instead of her standing by you
You know that it should have been me
I've always been faithful & true!"
..& fade

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME
Gladys Knight & The Pips
I saw my love walking down the aisle
And as he passed me by
He turned and gave me a smile
Then, the preacher, then the preacher
The preacher joined their hands
And all the people, all the people began to stand
When I shouted, "you know it should have been me"
(Instead of her walking with you)
You are leaving me stranded
You know that it should have been me baby
Oh baby gettin' ready to marry you
Darlin' darlin' darlin'
You made a promise that we would never part
Then you turned around and broke my little heart
Now you're standing there saying I do
Holding hands with somebody new
You know that it should have been me
(I can't stand it)
Instead of her standing by you
You know that it should have been me
It should have been me
(Baby don't do it)
Then the preacher oh yeah the preacher asked
That there be silence please

Yeh, I remember a version of this in Jools Holland's "Mr Roadrunner" I think it was the Glady's Knight and the Pips version, and / or Yvonne Fair. (same lyrics anywho).
The line I liked best was:
"Somebody call the po-lice, That woman down there is a dog-gone thief!".
Cheers.
