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 so 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
Where I Ought to Be was written by Harlan Howard.
Where I Ought to Be was produced by Chet Atkins.
