Should've Known Better - Richard Marx

I ain't been sleeping much these days This empty bed is cold as hell I wouldn't try to get you to stay I learned that all that too well That that side smile sure had me goin for a good while Your cowboy manners and your hard miles Should've known better than to love you You make the world fade When you call me sweet baby that way All kinds of trouble in the best way I should've known better than to love you Been kicking myself for holding on Trying to smoke away your memory One more beer one more sad song I'll be damned if you get the best of me With that side smile Sure had me going for a good while Your cowboy manners and your hard miles Should've known better than to love you You make the world fade When you call me sweet baby that way All kinds of trouble in the best way I should've known better than to love you Hearts don't break halfway And mine sure won't be broken by That side smile sure had me going for a good while Your cowboy manners and your hard miles Should've known better than to love you You make the world fade When you call me sweet baby that way All kinds of trouble in the best way I should've known better than to love you You got a side smile that sure had me going for a good while Your cowboy manners and your hard miles Should've known better than to love you You make the world fade When you call me sweet baby that way All kinds of trouble in the best way I should've known better than to love you

I'm out of your control There's nowhere left to hide Packed my bags at midnight and leave this mess behind Me, myself and I Have read between the lines Left the engine running, I guess this is goodbye And you're never gonna change my mind We've been here about a thousand times Should've never let you back inside Inside my mind Should've known better then to let you break my heart I should've known better, I believed you from the start I should've known better and now we're wasting all this time I should've known better, so I'm taking back my life Should've known better than that Ah, better Should've known better than that Ah, better I should've known better than that Looking back, I know You had me hypnotised Since I've got my senses I see right through your lies Now you're on your own You call me every night You're looking through our photos But I deleted mine And you're never gonna change my mind We've been here about a thousand times Should've never let you back inside Inside my mind I should've known better then to let you break my heart I should've known better, I believed you from the start I should've known better, and now we're wasting all this time I should've known better, so I'm taking back my life Should've known better than that Ah, better Should've known better than that Ah, better I should've known better than that (Should've known, should've known, ah) (Should've known, should've known, better) (Should've known, should've known) I should've known better than that (Should've known, should've known, ah) (Should've known, should've known, better) (Should've known, should've known) Finally I've opened up my eyes Why'd it take so long to see the light? Now I'm gonna leave your ass behind And you're never gonna change my mind We've been here about a thousand times Should've never let you back inside Inside my mind I should've known better than to let you break my heart I should've known better, I believed you from the start I should've known better, and now we wasted all this time I should've known better, so I'm taking back my life I should've known better than that (Should've known, should've known, ah) (Should've known, should've known, better) (Should've known, should've known) I should've known better than that (Should've known, should've known, ah) (Should've known, should've known, better) (Should've known, should've known) I should've known better than that

Stars alight, August night And you and I are set in motion Every fear disappears Like a tear into an ocean Say my name just the same Like a flame slowly burning Fill my eyes with the sight Of all that lies beyond the yearning Baby there is nothing but surrender left in me All at once our worlds collided I ain't strong enough to hide I've fallen, darling I long to take each breath beside you Burn down all the nights before you Slipped your hand in mine and swore to reveal it The secret that lets me be the one inside you If there exists a deeper bliss Plant a kiss that wakes the morning Reach for me, sweet as sin You took me in against the warnings So I will love you everyday until my days are done All at once our worlds collided I ain't strong enough to hide I've fallen, darling, I long to take each breath beside you Burn down all the nights before you Slipped your hand in mine and swore to reveal it The secret that lets me be the one inside you I will love you everyday until my days are done All at once our worlds collided I ain't strong enough to hide I've fallen, darling, I long to take each breath beside you Burn down all the nights before you Slipped your hand in mine and swore to reveal it The secret that lets me be the one inside you The one inside you The one inside you

Look into my eyes and tell me now How you feel that time is running out And how you want to run me into the sun That is what life is all about I can fantasize of one more night Realize that every moments right Put our hands upon anything you want There is only common sense to fight I am dying to go to every ____ with you Baby save the world and we can just be gone What are we waiting for? One second more is one second too long We can disappear right into yesterday Vanish in the air, baby I don't care Long as we make our getaway. Fingers running up and down my back Setting me on fire just like that I've seen it in my mind a hundred thousand times And now here we are at last I want to touch you like I've never touched you I want to love you like you've never been loved before And give you so much more Can't think of nothing else but you all to myself Save the world and we can just be gone What are we waiting for? One second more is one second too long We can disappear right into yesterday Vanish in the air, baby I don't care Long as we make our getaway. Just save the world and we can just be gone What are we waiting for? One second more is one second too long We can disappear right into yesterday Vanish in the air, baby I don't care Long as we make our getaway.

Who would believe This time last year We'd be finding Ourselves like we're Staring down the barrel of the end of the earth In a nightmare we can't leave But there's still you and me I'm gonna hold you like it's Christmas morning And kiss you like it's New Year's Eve You know you're everything I ever wanted The one thing I believe And when the world is set on fire You tell me it'll be okay Somehow you make these days Feel like a holiday Watching people going crazy Makes me keep you closer lately And even if December never happens again I wouldn't change a single thing 'Cause we've still got you and me I'm gonna hold you like it's Christmas morning And kiss you like it's New Year's Eve You know you're everything I ever wanted The one thing I believe And when the world is set on fire You tell me it'll be okay Somehow you make these days Feel like a holiday Feel like a holiday Somehow you make these days Feel like a holiday I'm gonna hold you like it's Christmas morning And kiss you like it's New Year's Eve You know you're everything I ever wanted The one thing I believe And when the world is set on fire You tell me it'll be okay Somehow you make these days Feel like a holiday Feel like a holiday Somehow you make these days Feel like a holiday

The world is ours, whatever we want it to be Pour it down all over me I'm lost, I'm found, I hold you like a mystery I'll meet you where no one else can see It's like my heartbeat's poundin' right out of my chest Yeah, like my heartbeat's got me all out of breath And baby, this right here's about as good as it gets Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh And this love And this love is And this love is Limitless You let go when I was holding on too tight You put the colorin' to black and white It's like my heartbeat's poundin' right out of my chest Yeah, like my heartbeat's got me all out of breath And baby, this right here's about as good as it gets Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh And this love And this love is And this love is Limitless Limitless Oh-oh, oh, oh Limitless The world is ours, whatever we want it to be Pour it down all over me
