lyrics

(Should have been you, should have been I)

Should have been forever
Should have been a dream
Should have been the cat
That always got the cream

Should have been so sweet
Lying in the sun
Should have been the summer
But the rain was all we came upon

Should have been unforgettable
Should have been a hit
Instead it was regrettable
Guess I could have figured it

Should have got hot
But then I had to learn
You never keep it cooking
If the flame don't burn

Should have stopped my loving when I saw the message on your phone
(Piggy in the middle)
Should have seen it coming that you'd leave me standing all alone
Should have been forever, I gave it everything I had
(Piggy in the middle)
Well we should've stayed together but it ended up so so bad
Tell you now


(Should have been you, should have been I)


Well I should have saw your cheating bitch
Lying to my face
Should have been a man
Instead i was a sorry case

Should have made a record
Couldn't pay the band
Should have played you an ace
I never got to play the hand

Thrown a seven
But I never made the call
should have been like heaven
I'm gonna lose it all

Should have been with me
Instead it was with him
Never saw him coming
I guess I'll never win

Momma told me never get bitten by the same dog twice
I should made a rule of taking heed of her good advice
There's always gonna be shadows even when you're standing in the sun
And you never see the sand that your castle has been built upon

(Should have been you, should have been I)
(Piggy in the middle)

It's over my back
Again and again
Will this piggy in the middle
Ever catch the ball and stop the flame.

Over my back
Again and again
Will the piggy in the middle
Ever catch the ball and stop the game.


This boy's so tired of playing second fiddle
Well it's time to quit playing piggy in the middle

This boy's so tired of playing second fiddle
Babe let's quit playing piggy in the middle
