Why'd it come to this?
Why is there a fence
That's separating you from me?
How did you convince
Yourself that we should quit?
And by the way
I always told you first
Even if it hurt
'Cause I knew that you deserved it
And I thought that we were worth it
Did you forget what we were
'Cause I remember that first touch
There were no secrets hidden between us
I thought we had something strong
Coulda fooled me
Baby, who you fooling
When you thought I did you wrong
You shoulda known me better
Why'd you go and ruin us
Wish you'd have called me
Why didn't you call me
When you thought that we were done
You shoulda known me better
I felt it in your kiss
I knew we couldn't fix
Something you thought was broken
Whispers on the street
But why did you believe
What they say
Rumors turn to lies
Wish you would have tried
But instead you just gave up
Walked away from this good love
Wasn't good love good enough
I thought we had something strong
Coulda fooled me
Baby, who you fooling
When you thought I did you wrong
You shoulda known me better
Why'd you go and ruin us
Wish you'd have called me
Why didn't you call me
When you thought that we were done
You shoulda known me better
'Cause I remember that first touch
There were no secrets hidden between us
It could been forever love
But you threw it all away
What'd you do to me
I thought that you knew me better eh
Guess you didn't, baby
I thought we had something strong
Coulda fooled me
Baby, who you fooling
When you thought I did you wrong
You shoulda known me better
Why'd you go and ruin us
Wish you'd have called me
Why didn't you call me
When you thought that we were done
You shoulda known me better
