And I should have known better

to lie with one as beautiful as you.

Yeah I should have known better

to take a chance on ever losing you,

But I thought you'd understand.

Can you forgive me?

I - saw you walking by the other day

I know you saw me, you turned away and I was lost.

You see - I've never loved no-one as much as you,

I've fooled around but tell me now just who is hurting who?

{chorus}

I should have known better

I should have known better

Its true, I took our love for granted all along

and trying to explain where I went wrongI just dont know.

I cry - but tears dont seem to help me carry on,

and now there is no chance you'll come back home,

got too much pride

{chorus}

I love you

I love you

La la laI love youla la la yeah

And I should have known better

to lie with one as beautiful as you....
