Lirik lagu “That Should Be Me” - Justin Bieber
Everybody's laughing in my mind
Rumors spreading 'bout this other guy
Do you do what you did when you did with me?
Does he love you the way I can?
Did you forget all the plans that you made with me?
'Cause, baby, I didn't
That should be me holding your hand

That should be me, this is so sad
That should be me, that should be me (ooh, ooh)
That should be me feeling your kiss (feeling your kiss)
That should be me buying you gifts (buying you gifts)

You said you needed a little time for my mistakes
It's funny how you used that time to have me replaced
Did you think that I wouldn't see you out at the movies?
What you doing to me?
You're taking him where we used to go
Now if you're tryna break my heart
It's working 'cause you know that

That should be me buying you gifts (that should be me)
This is so wrong, I can't go on
'Til you believe that should be me (til you believe)
I need to know, should I fight for love or disarm?
It's getting harder to shield this pain in my heart
Oh, whoa

That should be me feeling your kiss
That should be me buying you gifts (that should be me)
This is so wrong, I can't go on

Holding your hand, that should be me
The one making you laugh, oh baby
Oh, that should be me
That should be me giving you flowers
That should be me talking for hours
That should be me, that should be me (oh baby)
