Shoulda Known Better Lyrics - Unwritten Law

I shoulda known better 

Nothing lasts forever 

It all started out in a tan Dodge van 

Two hundred bucks that we stole from her dad 

Out the back of his meth lab 

Took the 45, out demand that 

Livid Bonnie, 'bout to be a mommy 

Came to California with Johnny 

They had a run in with the law 

She shoulda listened to her ma 

And she said we'd be together 

(She said) 

She used the word 'Forever' 

(She said) 

Oh, my lovely lover 

(She said) 

Why had I love to love her? 

I, I shoulda known better 

Nothing lasts forever, yeah, lasts forever 

I shoulda known better 

(Ooh, better) 

I shoulda known better 

(Ooh, better) 

I shoulda known 

Abortion clinic, I shoulda forced the issue 

But she did it with the hanger and some tissue 

Don't cry, dry your eye 

(She said) 

I'll be back on my feet tonight 

(She said) 

I'll be walking the street tonight 

(She said) 

'Cause these arms gotta eat tonight 

Then we made love like a couple of drunk buffalo 

Was I rough enough? 

It was the last time I'd ever see her 

I'd try to thank her with gonorrhea 

But then she split and stole my sweater 

Dude, I shoulda known better 

I, I shoulda known better 

Nothing lasts forever, yeah, lasts forever 

Shoulda known better 

Shoulda ended in the tan Dodge van 

With two hundred dollars worth of partying 

But instead I'm sitting on Sunset 

Selling my soul for a hit, yeah, what next? 

Yeah, I shoulda known better 

Nothing lasts forever, yeah, lasts forever 

When you said you'd never leave and we'd be together 

Nothing lasts forever, nothing ever lasts forever 

Shoulda known better 

(Ooh, better) 

I shoulda known better 

(Ooh, better) 

I shoulda known better 

(Ooh, better) 

I shoulda known better 

(Ooh, better) 

I shoulda known
