Shoulda Known Better Lyrics

Don't know why I still pretend
Can't deny you always win
I shoulda known better
I let you slide into my head
Now we're right back here again
I know I was gonna let you

I never thought I'd give in so easy
But baby then you come over me
I thought I'd resist your touch, so dangerous
Body, body, your body you put it down on me

I don't drink no more 'cause every time I do
I don't think before I end up calling you
I can't quit no more
I been trying forever
I-I-I shoulda known better
I don't drink no more 'cause every time I do
I don't think before I end up calling you
I can't quit no more
I been trying forever
I-I-I shoulda known better

Late nights ain't no good for me
Always end up at your place
I shoulda known better
Three shots in, I'm on my way, so turn around but it's too late
It's too late now babe

But I never thought I
I never thought I'd give in so easy
(I never thought I'd give in)
But baby then you come over me
(Baby then you come over me)
I thought I'd resist your touch, so dangerous
Body, body, your body you put it down on me

I don't drink no more 'cause every time I do (no)
I don't think before I end up calling you
I can't quit no more
I been trying forever
I-I-I shoulda known better

Every time I try to give you up
All I think about is you baby, my brain is stuck
How can I forget you, forgetting it ain't enough
'Cause honestly, I'd never give you, I'd never give you up
Friends keep on dragging me to the club
All them other girls ain't ever living up to your touch
Fly around the world but no matter where I end up
You hit me in the heart like a sucker punch

I don't drink no more
I don't think before
I can't quit no more
I been trying forever
I-I-I should known better
I don't drink no more 'cause every time I do
I don't think before I end up calling you
I can't quit no more
I been trying forever
I-I-I shoulda known better
I-I-I shoulda known better

What is the Meaning of Shoulda Known Better?

Navigating the complexities of a tumultuous relationship, the lyrics reflect the struggle of breaking free from a toxic cycle. The protagonist acknowledges their repeated mistakes and inability to resist the allure of an ex-lover, despite knowing better. Alcohol serves as a catalyst for poor decisions, leading them back into familiar patterns of calling and meeting up with this person. The chorus emphasizes regret and self-awareness, highlighting the difficulty in letting go. Despite attempts to move on, memories and feelings linger, making it impossible to quit. This emotional turmoil is further exacerbated by friends' encouragement to socialize, which only reinforces the longing for what was lost. Ultimately, it's a poignant reminder of how challenging it can be to break free from someone who has a powerful hold on your heart 💔🍷.
