Carrie Newcomer I Should've Known Better
Been a long time comin' And the cards were stacked It's been a long hard road To hell and back Your love meant trouble from the day we met You won every hand and I lost every bet Now you'd think that I should've known better Now you'd think that I would have seen it come My heart sank when I read that letter It sank like a stone It sank like a stone A cup of cold coffee, yesterday's mail Hard love like that's always bound to fail Your love meant trouble from the day we met If you want your things I put them out On the front step Now you'd think that I should've known better Now you'd think that I would have seen it come My heart sank when I read that letter It sank like a stone It sank like a stone All alone in my kitchen, All alone in my bed Some things you can't take back once they've been said I don't know what this love is for All I know is baby I don't want it anymore Now you'd think that I should've known better Now you'd think that I would have seen it come My heart sank when I read that letter It sank like a stone It sank like a stone It's been a long time comin' And the cards were stacked It's been a long hard road To hell and back.
