And I should've known better

To lie to one as beautiful as you.

Yeah I should've known better

To take a chance on ever losing you,

But I thought you'd understand.

Can you forgive me?

I - 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?

[chorus]

I should've known better

I should've known better

Its true, I took our love for granted all along

And trying to explain where I went wrong I just dont know.

I cry - but tears dont seem to help me carry on,

And now there is no chance you'll come back home,

Got too much pride

[chorus]

I love you

I love you

La la la I love you la la la yeah

And I should've known better

To lie with one as beautiful as you....
