Don't know why I still pretend

Can’t deny you always win

I shoulda known better

I let you slide into my head

Now we're right back here again

I know I was gonna let you

I never thought I'd give in so easy

But baby then you come over me

I thought I’d resist your touch, so dangerous

Body, body, your body you put it down on me

I don't drink no more 'cause every time I do

I don't think before I end up calling you

I can't quit no more

I been trying forever

I-I-I shoulda known better

I don't drink no more 'cause every time I do

I don't think before I end up calling you

I can’t quit no more

I been trying forever

I-I-I shoulda known better

Late nights ain’t no good for me

Always end up at your place

I shoulda known better

Three shots in, I'm on my way, so turn around but it’s too late

It's too late now babe

But I never thought I

I never thought I'd give in so easy

(I never thought I'd give in)

But baby then you come over me

(Baby then you come over me)

I thought I’d resist your touch, so dangerous

(Ooh dangerous)

Body, body, your body you put it down on me

I don't drink no more 'cause every time I do

I don't think before I end up calling you

I can't quit no more

I been trying forever

I-I-I shoulda known better

Every time I try to give you up

All I think about is you baby, my brain is stuck

How can I forget you, forgetting it ain't enough

Cause honestly, I'd never give you, I'd never give you up

Pricey boy jacket to the club

All them other girls ain't ever living up to your touch

Flyin' 'round the world but no matter where I end up

You hit me in the heart like a sucker punch

I don't drink no more

I don't think before

I can't quit no more

I been trying forever

I-I-I should known better

I don't drink no more 'cause every time I do

I don't think before I end up calling you

I can't quit no more

I been trying forever

I-I-I shoulda known better

I-I-I shoulda known better
