It Ought To Be Me

Who is He?
Does he wake you in the morning with his lips on your mouth
Does he whisper your name?
Does he take you to heaven as he slips down south.
Does he leave you sighing as you drift away,
And do you wake up smiling to another perfect day

Does he leave a note on your bathroom mirror,
Just a little something to make him seem nearer.
Does it tell you darling that you'll never be lonely,
He's a solid man and you're his one and only.
I know he's something cause you look that way and darling,
I'm happy for you but I have to say:
It ought to be me, It ought to be me

What's his name? What's that he's driving?
He didn't get that on no nine to five and
Tell me what's his game? What his plan?
Is he a trust fund baby or a self made man?
I know this brother just to good to be true.
Do what you wanna I'm just telling you.
It ought to be me, It ought to be me

And does he call you up on the telephone and say now
"Tell me baby how your day is going?"
And now, Late at night when you're feeling colder
Does he slide on over just to rub your shoulders?
I know he loves you til you cream and holler baby
I know he treats you like million dollar baby
He likes your mother and he's good to your friends.
I'm happy for you, but I won't pretend.
It ought to be me, It ought to be me
