Lyrics: Me Beside You

Could've been me beside you, baby.
Couldn't been me beside you,
but I wasn't smart.
Isn't it kind of funny, baby?
Isn't it kind of funny,
two of us apart?
Sayin' it's kind of funny, baby,
but it's the kind of funny
that can break your heart.

All through the night.
I can see you.
All through the night,
I call your name.
Close my eyes, and I see you
coming back to me.
Wonder, could it be
that way again?
And I lie awake and think
of what we could've been,
while you're lying there with him.

Could've been me beside you, baby;
could've been me beside you.
I should be that guy.
Sayin' it's kind of funny, baby,
but it's the kind of funny
that can make you cry.

All through the night,
I can see you.
All through the night,
I call your name.
Close my eyes, and I see you
comin' back to me.
But I know that it's only in my head,
'cause I lie awake and think
of what I should've said.
And you're there with him instead

Should've been me beside you, baby.
Should've been me beside you.
I should be that guy.

Never had time to take you dancin'.
Never had time for dancin'.
And I don't know why.

Isn't it time we got together?
Isn't it time we try it,
back to you and I?
