That Should Be Me Lyrics

Everybody's laughing in my mind
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...

    He's saying that he's angry and jealous that the guy just takes his girl.He was deeply in love with her and she found somebody else so hates himself and her because she broke his heart and himself because of his own mistake. The jealous part is "making you laugh,buying you gifts,and kissing you.

    this song, is about a teenage boy, deeply and pasionately in love with a teenage girl, and like most teenage boys, ends up making a mistake. She knows how he feels, and begins questioning her feeling. She decides she needs a break, and yet unfortunate for him, but lucky for her, she meets someone new, someone who she thinks is better. She figures he'll move on, no knowing that all he wants is her back, and he regrets everything wrong he has ever done to make her hurt.

    Yea, me and my ex boyfriend broke up and he's already looking for other people. He doesn't even wanna be friends with me. Well, okay. We promised each other forever. I provide love, but I'm not what what he wants. I'm just someone he needs.

    Yes it was wrong for Selena Gomez to break Mr.Bieber's heart, but it was his own fault for making the mistake of loving her BUT,there are many fish in the sea Mr.Bieber. So I think you shouldn't rush it love is something not to rush and Mr.Bieber who knows? you may seem into women in your music videos and on the media, but love is mysterious in many ways. Look at me for example I had a crush on a boy when i was little but he didn't love me back and at the moment I am dating a woman. No I'm not a lesbian i am bisexual so Mr.Bieber let Selena Gomez go because you will find someone better, someone who will love, care, and hold you till the end of time so don't rush it Mr.Bieber take your time and fall in love. Don't rush life nor love. Just go with the flow be kind help those in need there is a saying "You have to give love, to get love" by Robin Thicke. So Mr. Bieber i hope that when I go on the media i see
    Mr.Bieber giving away to charity
    Mr.Bieber helping the homeless
    Mr.Bieber showing love and kindness
    because only then....will you find "The Diamond in the Rough" :)

    He wrote this song about ex girlfriend caitlin beadles because he broke up with her as he was becoming famous and wishes he had never done it. and after he breaks up with her she starts dating another guy named chandler and hes saying that it should be him instead of chandler.

    This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

    He did something wrong, and the girl broke-up with him. She finds another guy and gets in a relationship with him. And now the main guy realized he made a mistake and wants her back, after seeing her do all these things with the new guy.

    The song says
    "You said you needed a little time
    For my mistakes"
    Clearly the guy screwed up, the girl wanted a break and found someone better during it. Now the guy is mad b/c he lost his girl over his own mistakes.

    It's pretty self-explanatory. He's saying that the girl he wants to be with is with somebody else, thus, "that should be me holding your hand, making you laugh, feeling your kiss, buying you gifts etc."
