[Verse 1]
I’m the one that made you somethin' special
(Special)
You were just a rebel when I met you, baby
I’m the reason your alive and breathin'
(Breathin')
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]
Shoulda known better when my mama didn’t like you
Shoulda known you could never love someone
Shoulda known better than to let somebody like you
Be thе reason I don’t wanna fall in love
Time’s fully out, criеd over you
And I ain’t waistin' all my life on you
Shoulda known better than to love somebody like you
Love somebody like you, somebody

[Verse 2]
Late night drivin' down upon the west side
(West side)
Steal your daddy’s Ford, and get in right on the beach
I bet you been missin' seven-teen me
('Teen me)
Stress you with my world like it was nothin', baby

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

[Chorus]
Shoulda known better when my mama didn’t like you
Shoulda known you could never love someone
Shoulda 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)
Time’s fully out, cried over you
And I ain’t waistin' all my life on you
(I ain’t waistin' all my life on you)
Shoulda known better than to love somebody like you
(Shoulda known better, yeah)
Love somebody like you, somebody
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, like you
Guess I shoulda known better than to love somebody
Like you (shoulda 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
Shoulda known better when my mama didn’t like you
I know what you doing' when you call me up
Shoulda known better than to let somebody like you
Be the reason I don’t wanna fall in love

[Chorus]
Shoulda known better when my mama didn’t like you
(Shoulda Known better when my mama didn’t like you)
Shoulda known you could never love someone
(You could never love someone)
Shoulda 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)
Time’s fully out, (ay) cried over you (ay)
And I ain’t waistin' all my life on you
(I ain’t waistin' all my life on you)
Shoulda known better than to love somebody like you
(Love somebody like you)
Love somebody like you, somebody
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, like you
Guess I shoulda known better than to love somebody
Like you
Love somebody like you, somebody
(Shoulda Known better than to love somebody like you)
