- I Should've Known Better Lyrics / with translationsBeen 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.
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
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.
