so many years i just suffered through the tears
knowing one day i`d wake up wishing i had never met her
but as the time goes by my hope keeping playing every day
as i laugh to myself, `i just should have known better`
there`s no more laughter as i think about the other girl
it`s a slap in my face as i`m opening her letter
she`s doing fine now with two kids and another man
as i cry out loud, `i just should have known better`
she was the reason i was living every day
i would ride upon a white horse in my quest to try and find her
but now it`s too late, i don`t care if i die tonight
cos a voice keeps ringing in my heart, `i should have known better`
