Shoulda Known Better Songtext / Lyric

I shoulda known better, nothing lasts forever...



Hey!



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, and I would (out?) demand that

Little 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 lovely (she said)

Why haven't I loved you longer (Why'd 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, for 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

I 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.
