I ignored the signs
We was drivin’ blind, mmmm
I swore I didn’t hear you
When you were screamin stear clear of this heart, bay-be

Bridge

I thought that it would be different for me
I thought that things might change
I still put myself on the line
So who are you to blame
I shoulda known betta


Chorus
We knew betta than to play with flames
Setting our hearts ablaze
And we knew that we couldn’t win this fight
With both of our hands tied

We shoulda known betta
But we did it anyway ( WHAT)x3 ( what?! Only on 1st & 3rd)
We shoulda known betta, mmmm
And we paid for it


You knew from the start (you knew from the start)
This love would test your heart (this love would test your heart)
Somewhere deep inside you(somewhere deep inside you)
Wanted to learn the hard way again my darlin

You thought that it would be different with me
You though that I might change
You still put yourself on the line
So, who am I to blame?
You shoulda known betta

We knew betta than to play with flames
Setting our hearts ablaze
And we knew that we couldn’t win this fight
With both of our hands tied

We shoulda known betta
But we did it any way ( WHAT)x3 ( what?! Only on 1st & 3rd)
We shoulda known betta, mmmm
And we paid for it

It’s so easy to pretend
When you ain’t listenin
To your betta guidance
To ya voice within
Oooh child
These patterns repeat for a reason
I said they repeat for a reason x2

We shoulda known betta

Chorus
We knew betta than to play with flames
Setting our hearts ablaze
And we knew that we couldn’t win this fight
With both of our hands tied

We shoulda known betta
But we did it anyway ( WHAT)
We shoulda known betta, mmmm
And we paid for it
