Shoulda Known Better
MKTO Lyrics

Don't know why I still pretend
I am not sure why I continue to act like everything is fine

Can't deny you always win
I cannot ignore the fact that you always come out on top

I shoulda known better
I regret not realizing the truth about you earlier

I let you slide into my head
I allowed you to control my thoughts and emotions

Now we're right back here again
Despite my attempts to move on, we have ended up in the same situation

I know I was gonna let you
I was aware that I would give in to you eventually

I never thought I'd give in so easy
I did not expect to give in to your advances so easily

But baby then you come over me
However, when you are around, I cannot resist you

I thought I'd resist your touch, so dangerous
I believed I could fight my feelings for you, even though they could harm me

Body, body, your body you put it down on me
Your physical presence and actions have a powerful effect on me

I don't drink no more 'cause every time I do
I have stopped drinking because every time I do, I end up contacting you

I don't think before I end up calling you
I act impulsively and call you without considering the consequences

I can't quit no more
I have been unable to break free from my feelings for you

I been trying forever
I have been attempting to move on from you for a long time

Late nights ain't no good for me
Staying out late only leads me to your place, which is not good for me

Always end up at your place
No matter how hard I try, I always find myself at your doorstep

Three shots in, I'm on my way, so turn around but it's too late
Even with my attempt to resist, I ultimately give in and head to your place

It's too late now babe
It is too late for me to change my mind and go back on my decision to see you

Every time I try to give you up
Even when I attempt to move on from you

All I think about is you baby, my brain is stuck
I am consumed by thoughts of you and cannot think of anything else

How can I forget you, forgetting it ain't enough
Even though I want to forget you, simply trying to forget is not enough

'Cause honestly, I'd never give you, I'd never give you up
Honestly, I will never be able to let go of you completely

Friends keep on dragging me to the club
My friends keep trying to distract me by taking me to clubs and parties

All them other girls ain't ever living up to your touch
Even when I am with other women, no one compares to the way you make me feel

Fly around the world but no matter where I end up
Even if I travel to different parts of the world, I cannot escape thoughts of you

You hit me in the heart like a sucker punch
Your effect on me is like being unexpectedly punched in the heart

I-I-I shoulda known better
I regret not seeing the truth about you earlier
