Should've Known Better Lyrics
Another sleepless night I can't explain
Somebody said they heard me call your name
The radio won't let you leave my mind
I know it's over but I don't know why
Chorus:
Should've known better
Than to fall in love with you
Now love is just a faded memory
Should've known better
Now I'm a prisoner to this pain
And my heart still aches for you
There was no risk that I wouldn't take
And not a promise that I didn't make
All I asked was that you just hold on
And now I'm wondering what I did wrong
Chorus
I gave you all of my body and soul
Never believing we might lose control
I took my hands off the wheel
I can't remember if the lies were true
It's been a million years since I touched you
I thought time might help me win this game
But being away from you is slowly driving me insane
Chorus out
Somebody said they heard me call your name
The radio won't let you leave my mind
I know it's over but I don't know why
Should've known better
Than to fall in love with you
Now love is just a faded memory
Should've known better
Now I'm a prisoner to this pain
And my heart still aches for you
And not a promise that I didn't make
All I asked was that you just hold on
And now I'm wondering what I did wrong
Never believing we might lose control
I took my hands off the wheel
It's been a million years since I touched you
I thought time might help me win this game
But being away from you is slowly driving me insane

To me, it's more of a cautionary song about falling so completely in love with somebody that doesn't feel the same way. You're only going to get hurt. You should know better.
i swear this is the bomb!!!!! it's so true....i dated this guy years ago and i haven't seriously dated a guy sinmce....i guess i'm still in love with him, even though i never realised i loved him..... so i should've known better......
Great song. Listen to it, you won't be disappointed. Richard Marx is a great songwriter/singer.
The narrator was in love ... They broke up ... But she still haunts his heart and mind ... Should 've known better ... ...
Muzic Rocks !!
I'm not sure why, but it's pretty catchy. It sounds like it should be in some late 80's movie.
