Should've Listened Lyrics

There clothes all over the floor.
Don't remember them being here before.
Smell of perfume isn't here.
Why's lipstick on the mirror?
And still I don't understand.

No pictures left in the hall.
It's plain there's holes in my wall.
Where the hells my credit cards?
Why's wallet in the yard?
And still I don't understand.

[Chorus]
Well now, I guess I should've listened.
When you said you've had enough.
A little trick I picked up from my father.
in one ear and out the other.
Why's love got to be so tough?

Should've seen the look on my face.
My shits all over the place!
Why's this happening to me?
Why'd you take both sets of keys?
And still I don't understand.

Well now, I guess I should've listened
When you said you've had enough
A little trick I picked up from my father
in one ear and out the other
Why's love got to be so tough?

Ohh, Well I guess I should've listened

There's clothes all over my floor.
I don't remember them being there before.
There are no candles in here.
Lipstick still on my mirror.
And I still don't understand.

Well now, I guess I should've listened.
When you said you've had enough.
A little trick I picked up from my father.
In one ear and out the other.
Why's love got to be so tough?

Well now, I guess I should've listened.
When you said you've had enough.
A little trick I picked up from my father.
In one ear and out the other.
Why's love got to be so tough?

well this song is pretty srait forward, but I love it anyway. Its about a guy who didnt listen to anything his girlfriend was saying and when she told him she would leave he stilldidnt listen and so she left, now he regrets it and he realises he should have listened too her and payed more attention, now he is paying for his lack of attention and he regrets it. and "tuff" ? rofl.

Holy christ, you spelled it "tuff"???? What is wrong with you?

It's about a guy who's girl up and left him.

She leaves him because he stops paying attention to her, and she's tired of being ignored.

Ok no offense mate but you really screwed up the lyrics to that... anyway i love the song, as simsfreg said, read the chorus and youll get it

i love this song. i agree that it is pretty straight forward. it takes his girlfriend leaving for the guy to realize he made a mistake in not giving her what she needed. Shes gone, its because of him and now he regrets not treating her better.

"Smell of perfume isn't here" i think should be "smell of perfume IS IN here"

"It's plain there's holes in my wall" should be "there's 3 new holes in my wall

"Why's love got to be so tuff?" should be TOUGH tuff = stone

i agree this song is pretty straight forward but somehow when i forst listened to it, i had a VERY DIFFERENT idea about what is about, get this.i somehow saw IT as a rape, i know i know CRAZY and AWFUL, the line "didn't listen when you said you had enough" throw me WAY OFF , have to be something i watched that screwed up the way i saw it, but it's straight forward HE REGRETS NOT LISTENING TO HIS GIRLFRIEND WHO MOVED OUT OF HIS APARTMENT

i have to see " a little trick i picked up from my fat
