I Should've Known Better Lyrics - Singles - Carrie Newcomer

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.
