I got your wedding invitation 
I'm surprised you thought of me 
But I don't believe your wedding 
Is just where I ought to be 

For you put your arms around her 
Kiss her lips sp tenderly 
As she standing there beside you 
That's just where I ought to be 

Like a fool I introduced you 
i said baby meet my friend 
Never thought I could lose you 
But I lost you there and then 

I took the diamond ring you gave me 
Threw it way out to sea 
And I had an awful feeling 
That's just where I ought to be
