And I should have known better to lie the 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 the one as beautiful as you. ... 

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 [bad word]  I took our love for granted all along. 

Ain't 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 [bad word] back home, got too much pride. 

And I should have known better to lie the one as beautiful as you. ... 

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 the one as beautiful as you
