In this emotionally charged narrative, the artists explore themes of betrayal and disillusionment within a romantic relationship. The lyrics convey the protagonist's deep sense of hurt and confusion after discovering their partner's infidelity. Despite having invested significant emotional effort and trust into the relationship—symbolized by metaphors such as giving "mountains" and placing the partner "on top"—the protagonist is left feeling deceived and abandoned. The repeated refrain, "Love should have brought your ass home last night," underscores the expectation of loyalty and presence that was unmet. This poignant expression of disappointment highlights the discrepancy between actions and promises in romantic commitments, ultimately questioning the sincerity of love professed by an unfaithful partner.
Shoulda
Lyrics
Said you wanted romance
Well I gave you a lot
Said you wanted mountains, hills
I put you on top
Who could ever take my heart but you?
You got it on lock
I'm fucked up baby
So fucked up, girl
I believed your lies
Thought your heart was true
Where was your heart last night when I needed you?
Love should have brought your ass home last night
Should have been with me, babe, holdin' me tight
So don't be mad if your man isn't home tonight (tonight)
You should have brought that ass home
(Last night) To me last night
So you wanna do this?
Let's take it from the top, top, top
Thought a nigga could trust you
But obviously not, not, not
There you go changin' stories
But, baby, just stop (woo)
I'm fucked up baby, yeah
I'm fucked up, girl
I believed your lies
Thought your heart was true
Where was your heart last night when I needed you?
Love should have brought your ass home last night
You should have been with me, babe (babe), holdin' me tight (oh-oh)
So don't be mad if your man isn't home tonight (tonight)
You should have brought that ass home (brought that ass)
(Last night) To me last night, ohh
Thought you would've had my back
Why you do me like that? (Like that)
When I never treat you bad (yeah, ohh)
Thought you would've had my back
Why you do me like that? (Like that)
When I ever treat you bad?
(Love should have brought you)
Last night, you hurt me (yeah, yeah)
Why did you desert me? (Love should have brought you)
How could you? You know me
My lover, my homie (love should have brought you)
Last night, you hurt me
Why did you desert me? (Love should have brought you)
How could you? You know me
My lover, my homie (love should have brought)
Your ass home last night
You should have been with me, babe, holdin' me tight
So don't be mad if your man isn't home tonight
You should have brought that ass home (brought that ass)
(Last night) To me last night, oh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh (oh yeah)
Why you do me like that? Oh, oh (oh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, babe)
You supposed to be my one (oh)
Supposed to have my back on you right
Supposed to be
(Love should have brought you)
(Yeah, oh yeah)
Lady why you want that?
Do you sleep with one eye?
(Love should have brought you)
You got that one eye
Open it I'm over it
