I Should Know Lyrics

I'll show you things that you've never seen
And I know places you've never been
To where the grass isn't green
Cause I, yeah, I should know
I should know
I should know

I'll show you things that you never seen
And I know places you've never been
To where the grass isn't green
Cause I, yeah, I should know

Playing away from home is fun
This food is cooked but it isn't done
Boy the best is to come
'Cause I, yeah, I should know

It's always me that gets the blame
Second single sounds the same
Loneliness is a pain
Cause I, yeah, I should know

I should know
I should know
The pain it grows
Yeah, I should know

I should know
I should know
I should know
I should know

I should know
I should know
The pain it grows
Yeah, I should know

Two steps forward and one step back
The wheels are coming off the track
Still there's time to get back
'Cause I, yeah, I should know

I should know
I should know
The pain it grows
Yeah, I should know

I should know
I should know
I should know

Waking up in someone's attic
Find it's all on automatic
Look out boy it's problematic
'Cause I, yeah, I should know

Waking up in someone's attic
Find it's all on automatic
Look out boy it's problematic
'Cause I, yeah, I should know

I should know
I should know
I should know
I should know

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The song seems to me to be about a man [the singer] telling someone that the world isn't always such a nice place, for he has experienced it first hand. It's not a negative thing, he's just warning that running off from your world and what your world contains isn't the best idea.

or I could be completely wrong :]

I have no idea what the song means, but I love the beat and other parts of the instrumental music.
