Maybe I should've known, my baby
Oh, to leave you alone, maybe

Maybe I should've known
I should've known
I should've known

Oh, but you couldn't stay, now could you?
Oh, you wouldn't say, now would you?

Oh, but I should've known
I should've known
I should've known

When the world is on your back
And life is anticipating
Well if you think it's love you lack
Oooh, mine's here waiting

Oh, but I'll let you go
I should've known to let it go

And when the world is on your back
And life is anticipating
Well if you think it's love you lack
Oooh, mine's here waiting

Oh, but I'll let you go
I should've known to let it go

And you didn't know, now did you?
That I'd fall in love with you
Oh, but now it's too late
It's useless to say

I should've known
Oh, but I should've known
I should've known (x6)

Maybe I should've known
I should've known
I should've known
