I Should Have Known Better

And I should have known better to lie to 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?

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 to 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, 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 know
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 to 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, love you
I, love you
Oh, I love you
No, no, no, no, no, no, yeah

And I should have known better
To lie to one as beautiful as you
