I Should've Known
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Maybe I should've known, my baby
Oh, to leave you alone, maybe
Maybe I should've known
I should've known
I should've known
Oh, but you couldn't stay, now could you?
Oh, you wouldn't say, now would you?
Oh, but I should've known
I should've known
I should've known
When the world is on your back
And life is anticipating
Well if you think it's love you lack
Oooh, mine's here waiting
Oh, but I'll let you go
I should've known to let it go
And when the world is on your back
And life is anticipating
Well if you think it's love you lack
Oooh, mine's here waiting
Oh, but I'll let you go
I should've known to let it go
And you didn't know, now did you?
That I'd fall in love with you
Oh, but now it's too late
It's useless to say
I should've known
Oh, but I should've known
I should've known (x6)
Maybe I should've known
I should've known
I should've known
