Shoulda Been Lovin' You Lyrics


Thinking 'bout all the times I let you down
Now both my feet are firmly planted on the ground
Hurting you was never in my plan
I was trying to be the man
I try to reach you but you won't answer my call
And I don't blame ya
I never dreamed that you
You'd want nothing to do with me
I know it's true
(Shoulda been)
Instead of runnin' around I should've been lovin' you
(Shoulda been)
Instead of breaking your heart
(Shoulda been lovin' you)
And baby I'm so sorry for the things I put you through
(Shoulda been, shoulda been lovin' you)
Now I'm starring in the mirror at a fool
(Shoulda been)

Who should been lovin' you
(Shoulda been)
Who shoulda been lovin' you, ooh
(Shoulda been, shoulda been lovin' you)
I'm thinkin' 'bout every time I lied unto your face
You saw right through me but still you gave me my space
Shouldn't have to tell a grown man what to do
I thought I was so damn cool
Baby, I miss you but you're moving on with your life
And I can't stop you
I could have never surmised that I'd be standing all alone
With tears fallin' from my eyes
I know it's true
(Shoulda been)
Instead of runnin' around I should've been lovin' you
(Shoulda been)
Instead of breaking your heart
(Shoulda been lovin' you)
Baby I'm so sorry for the things I put you through
(Shoulda been, shoulda been lovin' you)
Now I'm starring in the mirror at a fool
(Shoulda been)
Who should been lovin' you
There's what you want, you walk away from me
This is not, this is not the way it was supposed to be
Heaven knows how hard I prayed that Jesus could find a way
I would've have done, I would've have said anything to make you stay
This is not like anything in my life that I've ever felt
What am I gonna do the first time
I see you hooked up with somebody else
I think I might lose my mind, inside my heart will be bleeding
That what I get, that's what I deserve for being out there cheating
It's true
(Shoulda been)
Instead of runnin' around I should've been lovin' you
(Shoulda been)
Instead of breaking your heart
(Shoulda been lovin' you)
Baby I'm so sorry for the things I put you through
(Shoulda been, shoulda been lovin' you)
Now I'm starring in the mirror at a fool
(Shoulda been)
Who should been lovin' you
(Shoulda been)
Instead of runnin' around I should've been lovin' you
(Shoulda been)
Instead of breaking your heart
(Shoulda been lovin' you)
Baby I'm so sorry for the things I put you through
(Shoulda been, shoulda been lovin' you)
Now I'm starring in the mirror at a fool
(Shoulda been)
Who should been lovin' you

Brian McKnight (born June 5, 1969 in Buffalo, New York) is an American singer, songwriter, arranger, producer and one of the prominent singers of his years, specializing in pop and R&B. He is a multi-instrumentalist and plays the piano, guitar, and trumpet.

Embracing an effortless eloquence and cocoa butter smooth persona, the music of Brian McKnight has defined the true meaning of an American soul-man since 1991. Like his spiritual Motown godfathers, this upstate New York native has a velvety voice and silky style that captures the vibe of vintage soul without being old fashion. On his latest disc Ten, that blend can be clearly heard.

While Brian’s aspirations might have seemed like a lofty ambition, the longevity of his career is a testament to the purity of his vision. With the release of Ten, McKnight’s first disc for his new label Warner Bros Records, the Grammy-nominated singer could not be more pleased with the outcome. Without a doubt, the landscape of soul music has gotten younger, but that fact did not hinder McKnight’s creative process.

After 16 million albums sold since his self-titled debut, it would have been too easy for McKnight to simply follow the R&B template of rote romanticism. But on Ten, the artist in him felt the need to be more revealing. Though McKnight has been friends with producers Tim & Bob for over ten years, this is the trio’s first collaboration.

Though Brian has never been the kind of singer/songwriter that one would call political that didn’t stop him from penning “Red, White & Blue,” a heart wrenching ode for the men and women currently at war, teaming up with country star Rascal Flatts.

Currently working on a variety of projects including a talk show and soundtracks for two upcoming Tyler Perry projects, the veteran soul singer could not be happier with the outcome of Ten. For fans of real music, Ten is the perfect addition to the soul cannon.
