I Shoulda Told You Lyrics

[Intro:]
Yeah, yeah...
Oh no

[Verse 1:]
I never took the time to tell you,
How I feel about you
I took for granted you would know,
I couldn't live without you
Now I'm sitting by this phone
Wishing you would call...
Hoping and praying this would be the day,
When you'd come running back to me

[Chorus:]
I shoulda told you that I need you in my life
I shoulda told you that I need you by my side
I shoulda told you without you there is no "I"
I shoulda told you, whoa...

[Verse 2:]
Baby, lately I been thinking
Maybe I should let it go
Want you to know how much I love you
Just to scared to let it show
Now I'm wishing, I wasn't missing
Your sweet kiss and your embrace
Lounging to hold you,
Wanting to show you
How much I want for you to stay...

[Chorus:]
I shoulda told you, that I need you in my life
I shoulda told you, that I need you by my side
I shoulda told you, without you there is no "I"
I shoulda told you, whoa...

[Bridge/Breakdown:]
So many tears I've tasted
From all this time I've wasted
Wishing I could take it all back
And do this differently, oh...

Girl, I'm just so frustrated
Look at this situation
I know we could've made it work
If only I would've told you

So many tears I've tasted
From all this time I've wasted
Wishing I could take it all back
And do this differently, oh...
Boy, I'm just so frustrated
Look at this situation
I know we could have made it work
If only I would've told you

[Chorus:]
I shoulda told you, that I need you in my life
I shoulda told you, that I need you by my side
I shoulda told you, without you there is no "I"
I shoulda told you, whoa...

I shoulda told you, that I need you in my life
I shoulda told you, that I need you by my side
I shoulda told you, without you there is no "I"
I shoulda told you, my baby, that I love you.

I shoulda told you, that I need you in my life
I shoulda told you, that I need you by my side
I shoulda told you, without you there is no "I"
I shoulda told you, whoa... that I love you.
