Love Shoulda Brought You Home (album version)

Should I even listen?
Should I even try?
Will I just keep hearing the same old lines, baby?
See, it doesn't matter what you say this time,
'Cause our whole relationship is built on one lie.
You say that things aren't the way they seem,
But still you can't come straight with me.
How can you think that you're in love
When you don't know the meaning of?
Love shoulda brought you, brought you home last night.
You shoulda been with me,
Shoulda been right by my side.
Baby, if you cared anything for me,
Then love woulda brought you to me last night. (Last night)
Gotta hand it to ya,
You had me there for a while.
I was so in love, I couldn't see past your smile.
Now I smell the coffee.
Boy, I got a wake-up call.
And it left the message that you just don't care at all.
You can't expect me to believe
That she doesn't mean anything.
You say that you love only me.
Your kinda loving, my darling, I just don't need, yeah.
Love shoulda brought you, brought you home last night.
Lord knows you shoulda been with me, yeah, (You shoulda been with me,)
Here, my babe. (Shoulda been right by my side.)
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, (Baby, if you cared anything for me,)
If you really cared,
Then love woulda brought, woulda brought,
(Then love woulda brought you to me last night.) Woulda brought you last night.
Whoo! (Love shoulda brought you, brought you home last night.)
You, baby, last night.
(You shoulda been with me,) Lord knows that you shoulda been right here.
Shoulda been right by my side.
So baby, if you cared anything for me,
Then you woulda been sincere and I wouldn't be in tears
And love woulda brought you to me last night.
Oh baby, why?
Why do men think thin love's just for the moment, not over time?
Please tell me why, why do you think you're gonna be sincere.
Are you deserving?
Don't blame me if I just don't believe,
I just don't believe that you'll always be he-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-ere.
(Love shoulda brought you, brought you home last night.) Whoo!
Lord knows you shoulda been with me, yeah. (You shoulda been with me,)
Shoulda been right by my side.
Whoa, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, (Baby, if you cared anything for me,)
Even if you cared,
Then love woulda been, woulda been here.
(Then love woulda brought you to me last night.) Whoa, baby.
Love shoulda brought you, brought you home last night.
Lord knows you shoulda been with me, yeah, (You shoulda been with me,)
Here, my babe. (Shoulda been right by my side.)
Oh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, (Baby, if you cared anything for me,)
If you really cared.
(Then love woulda brought you to me last night.) You forgot all about me last night.
Love shoulda brought you, brought you home last night.
You shoulda been with me,
Shoulda been right by my side.
Baby, if you cared anything for me,
Then love woulda brought you to me last night. (Last night)
Love shoulda brought you, brought you home last night.
You shoulda been with me,
Shoulda been right by my side.
Whoa, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, (Baby, if you cared anything for me,)
Even if you cared,
Then love woulda been, woulda been here.
(Then love woulda brought you to me last night.) Whoa, baby.
