I Should Have Known Better

1. I saw you walking by the other day
I know that you saw me, you turned away and I was lost
You see: i've never loved no one as much as you
I've fooled around but tell me now just who is hurting who?
And I should have known better to lie with one as beautiful as you.

[Chorus:]
And I should have known better to lie with one as beautiful as you
Yeah, I should have known better to take a chance on ever losing you
But I thought you'd understand, can you forgive me?

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
Should have known better
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
Should have known better.

(I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I love you
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I love you.)

2. It's true, I took our love for granted all along
And trying to explain where I went wrong, I just don't know
I cry but tears don't seem to help me carry on
Now there is no chance you'll come back home, got too much pride
And I should have known better to lie with one as beautiful as you.

* No, no, no, no, no, no I love you!
No, no, no, no, no, no, yeah!
And I should have known better to lie with one as beautiful as you.
