I Should Have Known Better

And I should have known better to lie to 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?
 Saw you walking by the other day
 I know that 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?
 And I should have known better to lie to 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, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
 Should have known better
 I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
 Should have known better
 It's true, I took our love for granted all along
 And trying to explain where I went wrong, I just don't know
 I cry but tears don't seem to help me carry on
 Now there is no chance you'll come back home, got too much pride
 And I should have known better to lie to 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, love you
 I, love you
 Oh, I love you
 No, no, no, no, no, no, yeah
 And I should have known better
 To lie to one as beautiful as you
