Should've Known Better Songtext
von Jools Holland & His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra

She was a pretty girl
He′d only known 'bout a week
Didn′t do much
Just knocked him off his feet
How unlucky
And just how wrong can one man be?
They had a home
Just meant for two
She cleaned the place out
All she left him was the blues
How unlucky
And just how wrong can one man be?
She met his ma
His crippled pa
She ruined his life
She wrecked his s car
How unlucky
And just how wrong can one man be?
He should have known better
He should have known better


He should have known better
He should have known better
He should have known better
Better with a girl like her
Yeah, her misery
Has passed away
He tried to find her
And he did the other day
How unlucky
And just how wrong can one man be?
Well, he shot her
She fell dead to the ground
Cops come running
It must have worried the sound
How unlucky
And just how wrong can one man be?
Well, he's crying
All alone sitting there
Five more minutes
He's gonna face the electric chair
How unlucky
And just how wrong can one man be?
He should have known better
He should have known better
He should have known better
He should have known better
He should have known better
He should have known better
He should have known better
He should have known better
He should have known better
He should have known better
He should have known better
He should have known better
He should have known better
He should have known better
Better with a girl like her
