Sad boy, ten drinks
Staring at a former fling
Jealous of the guy standing next to you
We loved, I had my chance
But back then, I had different plans
Chased other girls without a clue
Oh, oh, oh, it shoulda been you
It shoulda been you
It should've been you
The one who I gave all my love
In a fruitless sweet pursuit
If only I knew
It shoulda been you
You call me Jacob to my face
Even my grandma calls me Jake
I kinda liked hearing it from you
Oh, oh, oh, you make me feel new
It shoulda been you
It shoulda been you
The one who I gave all my love
In a fruitless sweet pursuit
If only I knew
It shoulda been you
You seem so happy I can't be the one
Come between you two
Something keeps tapping on
The inside of my heart
And I know it's true
There's nothing I can do
But I can say that it shoulda been you
One, two, three
It shoulda been you
It shoulda been you
The one who I gave all my love
In a fruitless sweet pursuit
If only I knew it shoulda been you
