She move out west becaus she had o feel the sun
Her little dresses that she wears came with her too
It's complicated
But I'm really just a pawn
Once he's there I can't forget
That I'm all alone, so...

I shoulda known, I shoulda known better that your...
Your cheating heart, it doesn't really matter cause it
Fell apart with all the other irony

Cause I lost it all on the lottery
And I risked it all to give you away
And i can't forget all the times I've said
I should've known, I should've known better.

I'll run the record shop if you can go to school
Take care what you can get
That's the golden rule
And I can't disguise the colors that you bend
Just when I think it's right
That's the way it ends

I shoulda known, I shoulda known better that your...
Your cheating heart, it doesn't really matter cause it
Fell apart with all the other irony

Cause I lost it all on the lottery
And I risked it all to give you away
And i can't forget all the times I've said
I should've known, I should've known better

And I hate my life
So before it starts to go
Before I die I'd like to let you know
That I can't lie
So bide your time
And breath another breath
And hold me down before you say goodbye

Cause I lost it all on the lottery
And I risked it all to give you away
And i can't forget all the times I've said
I should've known, I should've known better

Cause I lost it all on the lottery
And I risked it all to give you away
And i can't forget all the times I've said
I should've known, I should've known better
I should've known, I should've known better.
