U Should've Known Better

I didn't ask to go with you to Mexico

I really didn't need the shopping spree

In LA or Melrose

Boy, if you didn't know it

Well, now you know

I didn't need the furs or the jewelry

Because material things, they don't mean much to me

And ever since you've been gone

I've been holding us down on my own

And, no

I never ever cheated

I never ever lied

So you can stop asking

Asking me why

Why I never left you

And why I kept it real

And why I'm still with you

You should've known better

Than to think I would leave

You should've known better

Than to doubt me

It don't matter if you're up

Matter if you're down

Either way, I'm gonna be around

You should've known that

I would stay by your side

You should've known your girl

Was gonna ride or die

And it just don't matter

If you're rich or poor

Out or in

Doing five to ten

You should've known better

What makes you think

That I would forget about ya?

Think about it

Who comes to see ya?

Every Saturday and Monday

I was on that receiver

It's me

Your girl

Your life

Your world

My family and friends

They just don't understand

They say I should leave you alone

But I say that they all should just leave us alone

Don't you get it?

I never ever cheated

I never ever lied

So you can stop asking

Asking me why

Why I never left you

And why I kept it real

And why I'm still with you

You should've known better

Than to think I would leave

You should've known better

Than to doubt me

It don't matter if you're up

Matter if you're down

Either way, I'm gonna be around

You should've known that

I would stay by your side

You should've known your girl

Was gonna ride or die

And it just don't matter

If you're rich or poor

Out or in

Doing five to ten

You should've known better

You should've known better

Than to think I would leave

You should've known better

Than to doubt me

It don't matter if you're up

Matter if you're down

Either way, I'm gonna be around

You should've known that

I would stay by your side

You should've known your girl

Was gonna to ride or die

And it just don't matter

If you're rich or poor

Out or in

Doing five to ten

You should've known better
