U Should've Known
Monica

Verse 1:

I didn't ask to go with you to Mexico

I really didn't need the shopping sprees in L. A. And Melrose

Boy if you didn't know it, well now you know

I didn't need the furs or the jewelry

Because material things they don't mean much to me

And ever since you've been gone

I've been holding us down on my own

You know


Hook:

I never cheated

I never ever lied

So you can stop asking

Asking me why

Why I never left you

And why I've kept it real

And why I'm still with you


Chorus:

You should've known better than to think I would leave

You should've known better than to doubt in me

It don't matter if you're up, matter if you're down

Either way I'm gonna be around

You should've known that I would stay by your side

You should've known your girl was gonna ride or die

And it just don't matter if you're rich or poor

Out here doing five to ten

You should've known better


Verse 2:

What makes you think that I would forget about you

Think about it, who comes to see you

Every Saturday and Monday I was on that receiver

It's me your girl, your life, your world

My family and friends, they just don't understand

They say I should leave you alone

But I say that they should all just leave us alone

Don't you get it?


Hook:

I never cheated

I never ever lied

So you can stop asking

Asking me why

Why I never left you

And why I've kept it real

And why I'm still with you


Chorus:

You should've known better than to think I would leave

You should've known better than to doubt in me

It don't matter if you're up, matter if you're down

Either way I'm gonna be around

You should've known that I would stay by your side

You should've known your girl was gonna ride or die

And it just don't matter if you're rich or poor

Out here doing five to ten

You should've known better


Guitar Solo


Chorus:

You should've known better than to think I would leave

You should've known better than to doubt in me

It don't matter if you're up, matter if you're down

Either way I'm gonna be around

You should've known that I would stay by your side

You should've known your girl was gonna ride or die

And it just don't matter if you're rich or poor

Out here doing five to ten

You should've known better
