Been around the world, ladies come and go
Still I told myself that you weren't one of those
That's what I get for being polite
I'm not upset or headed goodbye

Tried to love you, tried to please you
Never made a difference I see
(Shoulda known better)
I feel so dumb, made you the one
Never made a difference I see
(Shoulda known better)

Such a perfect love or so I thought it was
But you were loving you, girl, instead of loving us
That's what I get for being polite
I'm not upset

Girl, I can't believe how much I really loved you
And you really don't believe how much I care
So I guess I made a fool out of myself
But believe me, it won't happen again

Tried to love you, tried to please you
Never made a difference I see
(Shoulda known better)
I feel so dumb, made you the one
Never made a difference I see
(Shoulda known better)

Tried to love you, tried to please you
Never made a difference I see
(Shoulda known better)
I feel so dumb, made you the one
Never made a difference I see
(Shoulda known better)

Girl, I can't believe how much I loved you
And you really don't believe how much I care
So I guess I made a fool out of myself
But believe me, it won't happen again

(Shoulda known better)
Tried to love you, tried to please you
Never made a difference I see
(Shoulda known better)
I feel so dumb, made you the one
Never made a difference I see
(Shoulda known better)

Tried to love you, tried to please you
Never made a difference I see
(Shoulda known better)
I feel so dumb, made you the one
Never made a difference I see
(Shoulda known better)

Shoulda known better, shoulda known better
Shoulda known better
