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, making you laugh (yeah)
That should be me, this is so sad
That should be me
That should be me (ooh)
That should be me, feeling your kiss (feeling your kiss)
That should be me, buying you gifts (buying you gifts)
This is so wrong
I can't go on (I can't go on)
'Til you believe
That that should be me
That should be me (no)
You said you needed a little time from 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 doin' 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 should be me, holding your hand (holding your hand)
That should be me, making you laugh (oh)
That should be me, this is so sad (this so sad)
That should be me
That should be me
That should be me (that should be me), feeling your kiss
That should be me (that should be me), buying you gifts
This is so wrong, I can't go on
'Til you believe (until you believe)
That should be me
I need to know (I need to know) should I fight (should I fight) for love (for love)
Or disarm
It's getting harder to shield (to shield)
This pain in my heart, woo, yeah-yeah
Ooh-ooh
That should be me, holding your hand
That should be me, making you laugh
That should be me (that should be me), this is so sad
That should be me (oh-ooh)
That should be me
That should be me, feeling your kiss
That should be me (that should be me), buying you gifts
This is so wrong
I can't go on
'Til you believe
That that should be me
That should be me
Holding your hand
That should be me
The one making you laugh (oh baby, oh baby, oh)
That should be me (that should be me)
That should be me
That should be me
Giving you flowers (that should be me)
That should be me
Talking for hours (I never should've let you go)
This should be me (that should be me)
Ooh, baby
That should be me
That should be me
That should be me
The lyrics to Justin Bieber's song "That Should Be Me" convey the singer's heartache and jealousy over his former love who has moved on with someone else. The song starts with Bieber's thoughts, with everybody laughing at him and spreading rumors of his ex-girlfriend being with another guy. He questions if she loves this new guy as he does and if she has forgotten the plans they had made together. He goes on to say that he should be the one holding her hand, making her laugh, feeling her kiss, and buying her gifts. He can't go on until she believes that he should be the one with her and not the new guy.
The song is a classic heartbreak song that is relatable to many people who have experienced a breakup. The lyrics capture the pain of watching someone you love be with someone else and feeling like you've been replaced. Bieber's use of "That should be me" throughout the song highlights the pain of not being with the one you love and how much it hurts to see them with someone else. The song is a testament to the fact that breakups can be tough and painful, yet we all must move on and let go of the past.
