[Verse 1]
Should've been there
Every time you called
Should've given you everything
Given you my all
But I was just selfish
Thinking 'bout myself
Should've given the best of me to nobody else
'Cause there's no living without you
And it feels like I'm losing my mind

[Chorus]
Baby, I...
Can't sleep at night
Without you right by my side
My pride always gets in the way
I lied
I should have begged you to stay
It may take 'til forever is through
To get over you

[Verse 2]
Should've made you happy
Should've been strong
Should've made you believe
You were right where you belonged
Don't know what you got 'til it's gone
Don't tell me it's too late to right this wrong
'Cause there's no livin' without you
And it feels like I'm losin' my mind

[Chorus]
Baby I...
Can't sleep at night
Without you right by my side
My pride always gets in the way
I lied
I should have begged you to stay
It may take 'til forever is through
To get over you

[Bridge]
Somethin', somethin' ain't right
Girl, lately my sun doesn't shine
Won't you come back into my life?
Girl, can we try again

[Chorus]
Baby I...
Can't sleep at night
Without you right by my side
My pride always gets in the way
I lied
I should have begged you to stay
It may take 'til forever is through
To get over you

Brian McKnight (born June 5, 1969) is an American R&B singer-songwriter, arranger, producer, and musician. He is a multi-instrumentalist who plays eight instruments including piano, guitar, bass guitar, percussion, trombone, tuba, flugelhorn and trumpet. He is one of the very few leggiero tenors in the pop genre. McKnight is perhaps most recognized for his strong falsetto and belting range. McKnight’s work has earned him 16 Grammy Awards nominations, though he has never won. Actually, he is currently tied with Snoop Dogg for the record of most Grammy nominations without a win.
