I should have known better

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 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
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

It's true, I took our love for granted all along
And trying to explain where I went wrong, I just don't known
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
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 love you
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I love 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
