Waterboys Lyrics for Song: It should have been you
 Lyrics for Album: Waterboys [1983]
 
 
 
 19895>It should have been you :: Waterboys
 
 
 
 Can I believe my ears?
 
 is this really you?
 
 Pacing the floor with one eye on the door
 
 watching the winners go through
 
 Why do you hang back now?
 
 why d'you hesitate?
 
 You fires don't burn
 
 for he who waits
 
 
 
 Out of all of the people
 
 that I ever knew
 
 If one should have made it
 
 it should have been you!
 
 
 
 I know who I'm looking for
 
 but I don't believe my eyes
 
 The sight of you with your head hung low
 
 is a sick, sad suprise
 
 Why do you hang back now?
 
 why d'you hesitate?
 
 How dare you throw it all away then tell me
 
 aw man it must be fate
 
 
 
 Out of all of the people
 
 that I ever knew
 
 There had to one I could believe in
 
 and it should have been you!
 
 
 
 A gift that dies is a tragic thing
 
 and it happens all the time
 
 But a gift that's wasted, thrown to hell is the
 
 worst of stupid crimes!
 
 I saw you hang back now!
 
 I watched you hesitate!
 
 You're a well respected man, but bullshit!
 
 you could've been great!
 
 
 
 Out of all the people
 
 I ever knew
 
 There should have been one
 
 and it should have been you!
 
 
 
 I spent my whole life
 
 looking for someone like you!
