Perfumed letters from another time.
Memories of ladies now are far behind.
Too many lovers makes her heart go blind.
Oh, I should've known better.
I was so foolish and I chased the sun.
Young once and fine, now my days are done.
Too many lovers makes you on the run.
Oh, I should've known better.
Well, I tried too hard and spoken too soon.
Oh, I got too drunk and I shot the moon.
All the while I'd look at you and say
Hey, Should've known better baby.
Oh, should've known better baby.
Oh, I should've known better.
Oh but baby now I do
Well darlin', yes I do.
I jump from roof tops both far and wide.
I stole their kisses and I robbed them blind.
Leaving lovers in a bed of lies.
Oh, I should've known better.
I was a lion tamer long ago.
A veteran in the art of fooling ghosts.
Much too lonely for their hearts to know.
Oh I should've known better.
Well, I tried too hard, spoken too soon.
Oh, I got too drunk and shot the moon.
All the while I'd look at you and say,
Hey, should've known better baby.
Oh, should've known better baby.
Oh, I should've known better.
Oh but baby, now I do
Well darlin, Yes I do.
Now, an old man and nothing more.
Much too tired now, to even scores.
My wife, she left me back in '94.
Oh I should've known better.
And as I sit within my shallow grave.
Looking for answers that I should've saved.
Just out of heaven's reach, amazing grace.
Oh I should've known better.
Well, I tried too hard, spoken too soon.
Oh, I got too drunk and shot the moon.
All the while I'd look at you and say,
Hey, should've known better baby.
Oh, should've known better baby.
Oh, I should've known better.
But baby, now I do
Oh Darlin', yes I do
