Simple
Mac' And The Boys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And now she's got a love story that she can tell
Shoulda known from the start that you was from hell
I shoulda known from the start you was something else
She ruined my life with one simple spell
And now shes got a love story that she can tell
Shoulda known from the start that you was from hell
I shoulda known from the start you was something else
I just thought our love could really last
But you broke my heart and I couldn't find a cast
Felt unloved you left in a blast
Wish we could just have one conversation
But you never listen like i'm giving a presentation
You tune me out just like a radio station
I just need some time for the confrontation
She ruined my life with one simple spell
And now she's got a love story she can tell
Shoulda known from the start that you was from hell
I shoulda known from the start you was something else
She ruined my life with one simple spell
and now she's got a love story that she can tell
Shoulda known from the start that you was from hell
I shoulda known from the start you was something else
It seems to come and go when I reminisce it
Always caught in my feelings cause I really miss it
Even with pretending I was always giving
Knew you never cared you always so distant
I gave you all my love but you never gave it back
Ignoring to how it was I thought you'd be different
But you were just like the rest
Now i'm here alone with this hole in my chest
She ruined my life with one simple spell
And now she's got a love story she can tell
Shoulda known from the start that you was from hell
I shoulda known from the start you was something else
She ruined my life with one simple spell
And now she's got a love story that she can tell
Shoulda known from the start that you was from hell
I shoulda known from the start you was something else
