Lyrics:

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
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 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-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
