Shoulda Known Better Songtext
von Dixie D’Amelio

I′m the one that made you somethin' special
You were just a rebel when I met you, baby
I′m the reason you're alive and breathing
Count to ten before you try to say shit, baby

I gave you life when you couldn't get by
And you got you somebody else at night

Should′ve known better when my momma didn′t like you
Should've known you could never love someone
Should′ve known better than to let somebody like you
Be the reason I don't wanna fall in love

Time fully out, cried over you
And I ain′t wastin' all my life on you
Should′ve known better than to love somebody like you
Love somebody like you, somebody

Late night, driving down upon the Westside (Westside)
Steal your daddy's Ford and get in right, I might be
Tired, but you'll be missin′ seventeen me (′teen me)
Stress you with my world, like it was nothin', baby


I gave you life when you couldn′t get by
And you got you somebody else at night

Should've known better when my momma didn′t like you
Should've known you could never love someone
Should′ve known better than to let somebody like you
Be the reason I don't wanna fall in love

Time fully out, cried over you
And I ain't wastin′ all my life on you
Should′ve known better than to love somebody like you
Love somebody like you, somebody

Oh, like you
Guess I should've known better than to love somebody like you
Love somebody like you, somebody

I gave you life when you couldn′t get by
And you got you somebody else at night

Should've known better when my momma didn′t like you
I know what you're doin′ when you call me up
Should've known better than to let somebody like you
Be the reason I don't wanna fall in love


Should′ve known better when my momma didn′t like you
Should've known you could never love someone
Should′ve known better than to let somebody like you
Be the reason I don't wanna fall in love

Time fully out, cried over you
And I ain′t wastin' all my life on you
Should′ve known better than to love somebody like you
Love somebody like you, somebody

Oh, like you
Guess I should've known better than to love somebody like you (should've known better)
Love somebody like you, somebody (than to love somebody like you)
