Should Be You (feat. Fabolous & Diddy)

Don't you hate a coulda woulda shoulda? (oh oh no, oh oh no)
Coulda did woulda did well you shoulda? (oh oh no, oh oh no)

If I had a dollar for every should be, know how rich I would be
Like they say it is what it is, not what it could be
Can't cry feel guilt over spilled milk
I'm too fly, I'm too cool, word to Versace silk
And my watch be filled with mad diamonds
I've got good watches just bad timing
The chick I met at the club was cute
Still feel like I'm getting brain from the substitute
'Cause this ain't you and I ain't me
Claim you happy then why you're so mad at me?
Can't hold on to what you had just what you got
You should be here, but you're not

I'm doing it again
What I told myself I would not do, oh
It's 4:15 A.M. I'm sitting here drinking, reminiscing on you, oh
And how I used to let you smoke even though I don't
You get blowed then we both get low
As I lay here with some girl I don't know
In the back of my mind one million times
I tell myself

It should be you, should be you, should be you with me right now
Said it should be you (should be you), should be you (should be you), should be you with me right now oh oh

As I watch her sleep, all that I can think
She's beautiful (beautiful but she's not you)
Love for just a night, then out of my life (out of my life...)
Damn why can't I do this right?
When you told me you wanted to leave (wanted to leave...)
I pretended it didn't hurt me (didn't hurt me...)
But as I lay here I can hardly breathe
Laying next to she when in reality, it should be

It should be you, (oh) should be you (should be you...), should be you with me (with me...) right now (right now...)
Said it should be you (should be you) (oh), should be you (should be you) (oh uh oh), should be you and with me right now (uh with me right now oh)

Uh uh should be you, should be you baby oh oh

Ay yo check this out
My life, lights cameras fame and action
Feeling drained from all this private planes I'm catchin'
Willing to trade all the flashy chains I'm flashing for a night
Back up for us, exchanging pain and passion, (let's go)
Romances, kinda like the Phantom doors you used to ride
Cause it's trying to open up, it's like suicide (suicide)
God teaches lessons every day
You was all I needed like meth and Mary J (come on)
The sun don't shine forever
Any time that we fall it just means we just climb together (together)
Guess we avoided what we could've went through (yeah)
That don't change the fact that it should've been you

Girl it should be you (ooh...) It should be you, should be you, should be you with me right now
(Should be you and me, girl)
Said it should be you (should be you), should be you (should be you), should be you with me right now oh oh

Ooh... Said it should be you... it should be you... you... whoa
I said it should be you... it should be you... oh oh oh oh
