Lyrics

[Intro]

Shoulda never

Shoulda never

Shoulda never

[Verse 1]

I tried to tell myself you're never gonna get it again

Laying here next to you, not what I intended again

How did you crack the code (Code)

When don't nobody know

How to get me in position?

[Verse 2]

I thought I blocked your ass, you found another way to get in

Screw all my inner thoughts, I'm thinking 'bout us getting it in

On every countertop (Top)

I'm yelling please don't stop

And you know where it's going

[PreChorus]

If somebody told me this was it (Ooh)

That you was on some different shit (Oh-ooh)

I woulda made a decision that was better than this

Instead of wasting my time

[Chorus]

I tried to stop myself in time (Shoulda never did it)

I did it anyway, I probably shoulda never hit it

When I knew better, but I didn't do no better

I just wasted my time

[Verse 3]

Don't get it twisted, I ain't never been no regular type

I'm not so into you that I'm gon' let my good years go by

Just 'cause you laid it down and knocked it out like dominoes

That don't give you no permission

To fuck me over when you know that I been fuckin' you good

Why pull me in to push me out just 'cause you know that you could?

That's how I end up in and slip and fall in love again

Right back in the same position

[PreChorus]

If somebody told me this was it (Then I)

That you was on some different shit (Wish somebody told me, I)

I woulda made a decision that was better than this

Instead of wasting my time

[Chorus]

I tried to stop myself in time (I did it anyway)

I did it anyway, I probably shoulda never hit it

When I knew better, but I didn't do no better

I just wasted my time

[Bridge]

Okay, K, Usher, baby, look

Every time that I tell myself that I'm probably gonna let you go (I, I, I)

I get one foot out the door, then you come and pull me back for more

You know I

Can't resist you, that's my issue

Forget the shit we been through

'Cause you always put it down for me

Make it disappear like alchemy

[Bridge]

They call me K-E-H-L-A-N-I

Nini with the ill nana

Tsunami, take you under

This body hit like thunder

This ain't no one-hit-wonder

Here's another, oh

'Cause I'm rare like a Mona Lis'

You should treat me like a masterpiece, I

[Chorus]

Tried to stop myself in time (Shoulda never did it)

I did it anyway, I probably shoulda never hit it

When I knew better, but I didn't do no better

I was wasting my time

[Outro]

If somebody told me this was it

I would never believe it

That you was on some different shit (Ooh)

I woulda made a decision that was better than this

Instead of wasting my time
