SHOULDA KNOWN BETTER
G.Karukas, R.Boustead

There I was just mindin? my business
Walkin? down the road
She stepped out of a black Mercedes
I thought my heart would explode
Then she smiled, she walked right up to me
I stood there mesmerized
She was lost and she needed directions
You know she asked me so nice

I shoulda known better
But it happened too fast
More than I could take
To see her walkin? like that
Shoulda seen it comin?
Coulda run the other way
But I stepped into the trap
I shoulda known better than that

She asked my name, we started talkin?
Said she was new in town
She took my hand and wrote down her number
Asked me to show her around
She blew a kiss, she rolled up her window
I watched her drive away
I was gone, she had me completely
Now I call her every day

I shoulda known better
But it happened too fast
More than I could take
To see her walkin? like that
Shoulda seen it comin?
Coulda run the other way
But I stepped into the trap
Now I can?t forget her
But I shoulda known better
That?s a natural born fact
I lose my concentration
When she loves me like that
Everything she does
Makes me want more and more
There ain?t no turnin? back
I shoulda known better than that

Better watch what you ask for
You might just get your wish
Don?t you remember what your
Mama always told you
