Shoulda Known Better

[Verse 1]
So gone
Off the thought of lovin' ya
I’m steady waiting
Anticipating for your love
So I stay but to you I’m just a phase
A passing time through your delay
So I stay just in case, cause

[Pre-Chorus]
You, start to saying what we shoulda coulda woulda made
And I, keep on stayin' even though in know I’m being played

[Chorus]
I shoulda known better
Than to let you build me up
Just to bring me right back down
I shoulda known better
Cause you only show me love when he wasn’t around
I shoulda known better
Than to entertain the thought of me and you together
I shoulda known
I shoulda known better

[Verse 2]
Every season has its turn
And by the end the lessons learned
Cause the reason falls on me
Golly, golly, golly
I never shoulda let me love you
Cause my love will never be enough to change
You made your bed but now I lay
And I’m still bounded here because I say

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I keep saying what we shoulda coulda woulda been
My mind is still trippin' off the shit I got myself in

[Chorus]
I shoulda known better
Than to let you build me up
Just to bring me right back down
I shoulda known better
Cause you only show me love when he wasn’t around
I shoulda known better
Than to entertain the thought of me and you together
I shoulda known
I shoulda known better

[Bridge]
You messin’ with the wrong one
You greedy type of someone
This common type of thing will come and go
Ah well I shoulda known
I'm better off alone
You messin’ with the wrong one
You greedy type of someone
This common type of thing will come and go
Ah well I shoulda known
I'm better off alone

[Pre-Chorus 3]
I keep thinking what we shoulda coulda woulda been
And I, keep on stayin' even though in know I’m being played

[Chorus]
I shoulda known better
Than to let you build me up
Just to bring me right back down
I shoulda known better
Cause you only show me love when he wasn’t around
I shoulda known better
Than to entertain the thought of me and you together
I shoulda known
I shoulda known better
