[Verse 1]
I'm the one that made you somethin' special
You were just a rebel when I met you, baby
I'm the reason you're alive and breathing
Count to ten before you try to say shit, baby

[Pre-Chorus]
I gave you life when you couldn't get by
And you got you somebody else at night

[Chorus]
Should've known better when my mama didn't like you
Should've known you could never love someone
Should've known better than to let somebody likе you
Be the reason I don't wanna fall in lovе
Died for you, cried over you
And I ain't wastin' all my life on you
Should've known better than to love somebody like you
Love somebody like you, somebody

[Verse 2]
Late night, driving down upon the Westside
Steal your daddy's Ford and gettin' high on the beach
I bet you be missin' seventeen-me
Trust you with my world like it was nothin', baby
[Pre-Chorus]
I gave you life when you couldn't get by
And you got you somebody else at night

[Chorus]
Should've known better when my mama didn't like you
Should've known you could never love someone
Should've known better than to let somebody like you
Be the reason I don't wanna fall in love
Died for you, cried over you
And I ain't wastin' all my life on you
Should've known better than to love somebody like you
Love somebody like you, somebody

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, like you
Guess I should've known better than to love somebody like you
Love somebody like you, somebody

[Bridge]
I gave you life when you couldn't get by
And you got you somebody else at night
Should've known better when my mama didn't like you
I know what you're doing when you call me up
Should've known better than to let somebody like you
Be the reason I don't wanna fall in love
[Chorus]
Should've known better when my mama didn't like you
Should've known you could never love someone (You could never love someone)
Should've known better than to let somebody like you
Be the reason I don't wanna fall in love (I don't wanna fall in love )
Died for you, cried over you
And I ain't wastin' all my life on you (I ain't wastin' my life)
Should've known better than to love somebody like you
Love somebody like you, somebody

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, like you
Guess I should've known better than to love somebody like you
Love somebody like you, somebody (Should've known better than to love somebody like you)
