I Should Have Known Better

I shoulda known better

I shoulda known better than to trust you with my heart
I had heard about you
I shoulda known better than to trust you from the start
But I was just a young girl (Young girl)
Didn't know nothin' 'bout the cruel world (Cruel world)
I thought that life was peaches and cream
It just didn't seem that life could be cruel
That I could be fooled by you, oh, oh

I shoulda known better 'cause I was well aware
That you were just a playboy
I shoulda known better than to think that you'd be fair
But you were so exciting (Exciting)
Your lips were so inviting (Inviting)
I thought that if I loved you a lot
With all that I've got
I could change you, rearrange you, oh, oh

I shoulda known better

You told me things I must do (Must do)
The first thing was to trust you (Trust you)
But then I caught you cheating and lying
More than one time
It's a shame 'cause I'm to blame 'cause
I shoulda known better than to trust you with my heart
I shoulda known better

I don't blame you, I don't aim to
'Cause I know that (I shoulda known better)
It's my own fault that I got caught
'Cause I know that (I shoulda known better)
I shoulda known better than to trust you with my heart
(I shoulda known better)
I shoulda known better, oh, oh, yeah
