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 you saw me, you turned away and I was lost
you see I've never loved none as much as you
I've fooled around but tell me now just who is hurting who

I should have known better
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 know
I cry but tears don't seem to help me carry on
and now there is no chance you'll come back home
got too much pride

I love
you I love you
la la la I love you la la la yeah

and I should have known better to lie with one as beautiful as you
