(Shoulda known better)

(Shoulda known better)

(Shoulda known better)

(Shoulda known better)

You set a trap that day

Thinkin' I'd be fallin' right in

(Set the trap, fall into your lap)

My trap was better laid

Better do some thinkin' again

(Think again)

(Think about it, baby)

You said that you were gonna

Melt me down

Just when things were heatin' up

They turned around

Start out for a little fun

End up in the middle of love

I heard your aim was deadly

But you're shootin' in the dark

You fired your best shot, baby

But it's mine that hit the mark

You know you shoulda known better

Sneakin' up on mе

You know you shoulda known better

You know you shoulda known bettеr

Now your love is mine for keeps

You know you shoulda known better

You tried to Romeo me

But I would not juliet it

So I threw your casanova overboard

You're in love

So busy winning you

Didn't see me spinning my web

(Didn't see, you didn't notice me)

You planned every step

But still you slipped and fell in love instead

Ha, sucker

You're goin' by the book

But you didn't read that far

Especially the chapter

Where it says I win your heart

You know you shoulda known better

Sneakin' up on me

You know you shoulda known better

You know you shoulda known better

Now your love is mine for keeps

You know you shoulda known better

There's just a chance

Something's gone wrong

You think you've got me beat

But, baby, I've been winning all along

Your moves are good

Quick as a flash

I know you're used to victory

But this time love came up too fast

I'm creepin' up, creepin' up

I'm creepin' up

I'm creepin' up, creepin' up

I'm creepin' up

I heard your aim was deadly

But you're shootin' in the dark

You fired your best shot, baby

But it's mine that hit the mark

You know you shoulda known better

Sneakin' up on me

You know you shoulda known better

You know you shoulda known better

Now your love is mine for keeps

You know you shoulda known better

(Shoulda known)

You know you shoulda known better

Sneakin' up on me

You know you shoulda known better

(You shoulda known better, baby)

You know you shoulda known better

(Shoulda known)

Now your love is mine for keeps

You know you shoulda known better

(Shoulda known better)

You know you shoulda known better

(Shoulda known)

Sneakin' up on me

You know you shoulda known better

(You shoulda known better, baby)

You know you shoulda known better

(Shoulda known better)

Now your love is mine for keeps

You know you shoulda known better

(Shoulda known better, shoulda)

You know you shoulda known better

(Shoulda known)

Sneakin' up on me

You know you shoulda known better
