And I should have known better
To lie to 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 to one as beautiful as you
I should have known better
To take a chance on ever losing you
But I thought you'd understand, can you forgive me?

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 true, I took our love for granted all along
And trying to explain where I went wrong, I just don't known

I cry but tears don't seem to help me carry on
Now there is no chance you'll come back home
Got too much pride

And I should have known better
To lie to one as beautiful as you
I should have known better
To take a chance on ever losing you
But I thought you'd understand, can you forgive me?

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, love you
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, love you
No, no, no, no, no, I love you!
No, no, no, no, no, yeah!

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