Story Behind the Song
Jealousy never makes any sense.
This song came very quickly. I just wrote down my thoughts and feelings about the situation. The words came with the music attached.
Lyrics
IT OUGHT TO BE ME
by Linda E. McKeeth copyright 4/5/02
Chorus:
If anybody ought to be jealous, it ought to be me.
If anybody ought to be jealous, it ought to be me.
He says I'm one of the best friends he's ever had,
But he is willing to give that up to make you glad.
I'm his friend, but he really loves you.
Hope someday I'll have that kind of love, too.
So, if anybody ought to be jealous, it ought to be me.
I'm not jealous of you. For you, I'm happy,
When anyone finds this kind of love, it gives hope to me.
If he loves you that much, he should be with you.
So love each other and see this through.
But, if anybody ought to be jealous, it ought to be me.
Chorus
Rest assured, I won't overstep my boundaries.
I know pain, and I won't inflict it knowingly.
There's nothing for you to be jealous about,
Because you are in, and I'm on my way out.
And, if anybody ought to be jealous, it ought to be me.
Once I watched my son fight to get his wife back.
Wow, I thought, I wish someone loved me like that.
Looks like that's what you've got.
Something that I've wished for a lot.
Yes, if anybody ought to be jealous, it ought to be me.
Chorus
You have the love of someone who'll put you first.
Deep, down inside that is what I want most.
Twice, he has chosen you over me.
What's all this about jealousy?
For, if anybody ought to be jealous, it ought to be me.
