Shoulda Known Better Songtext
von Amos Lee

She came to me like a dream
Like nothing that I′d ever seen
Lying awake here in the dark
Tryna find out what to do with my heart
Still coming down from the high
I'm asking myself why I had to tell a lie
Still coming down from the high
I′m asking myself why I had to tell a lie

I shoulda known better not to stay the night
I shoulda known better, I should go
I shoulda known better not to stay the night
How was I supposed to let you go?
I shoulda known better, but I didn't I guess
I shoulda known better, but I got no regrets
I shoulda known better, but I didn't I guess
I shoulda known better, known better


We both got considerations
Other city situations
Faraway conversations
That might′ve led us to these deviations
No, I won′t regret a minute of it
No, I won't regret a second of it
No, I won′t regret a minute of your lovin'
No, your lovin′ got me open

I shoulda known better not to stay the night
I shoulda known better, I should go
I shoulda known better not to stay the night
How was I supposed to let you go?
I shoulda known better, but I didn't I guess
I shoulda known better, but I got no regrets
I shoulda known better, but I didn′t I guess
I shoulda known better, known better

But I stayed
And I stayed
So I could lay in your glow
But I stayed
Oh, I stayed


I shoulda known better not to stay the night
I shoulda known better, I should go
I shoulda known better not to stay the night
How was I supposed to let you go?
I shoulda known better, but I didn't I guess
I shoulda known better, but I got no regrets
I shoulda known better, but I didn't I guess
I shoulda known better, known better

I shoulda known better not to stay the night
I shoulda known better, I should go
I shoulda known better not to stay the night
I shoulda known better, known better

I shoulda known better not to stay the night
I shoulda known better, I should go (known better)
I shoulda known better, known better
I shoulda known better not to stay the night
I shoulda known better, I should go (known better)
I shoulda known better, known better
