I should have known it
When I first saw you at school
I was chasin' you around
And you were playin' me for the fool

Friends would laugh at me
I didn't really know why
But when I know the reason
You can take your turn ta cry

I should have known it
At the party Saturday
You were makin' eyes at me
An' it was time for me to play

I played my guitar
'Til my fingers ached inside
Then I saw you kissin' her
You looked at me an' waved goodbye

(I should have known)
That you would run away
(I should have known)
That ya had no plans to stay
(I should have known)
That night you waved goodbye
(I should have known)
When ya tell me all those lies

I should have known it
When I watched you walk away
That one-time lover
He'd be back my way some day

I'm hot to trot
I'm makin' time with every guy
But it's just one night for them
An' then I aw tell them goodbye

(I should have known)
That you would run away
(I should have known)
That ya had no plans to stay
(I should have known)
That night you waved goodbye
(I should have known)
When ya tell me all those lies

(I should have known)
That you would run away
(I should have known)
Ya had no plans to stay
(I should have known)
That night you waved goodbye
(I should have known)
When ya tell me all those lies

(I should have known)
That you would run away
(I should have known)
That ya had no plans ta stay.
(I should have known)
That night you waved goodbye
(I should have known)
When ya tell me all those lies
