Should’ve Known Better Lyrics by Lily Meola
There’s a man on a horse with a long bow and arrow
He’s aiming it straight at my heart
Cupid sure looks a bit different than I thought he would
Out under the stars
And he’s closing the gap I can smell worn out leather
Should’ve left before the sun came up
But his bed was warm and it’s cold in the desert
I should’ve known better than falling in love
And it’s all fun and games
‘Til it’s real and it ain’t
But I’m blushing and gushing
Head over Lucchese’s
I thought I’d escaped but his arrow it grazed me
There’s a hole in my favorite dress
Blood dripping down my chest
Making a trail in the dust
They say that it’s pain and it’s pleasure together
I should’ve known better than falling in love
Now I’m swimming around in a pool of his blue eyes
While he’s stitching my bleeding heart
And he promises that he’s the best in the west with his hands
And he won’t leave a scar
He pours me a whiskey, leans into kiss me
And damn if I can’t get enough
They say that it’s pain and it’s pleasure together
I should’ve known better than falling in love
And it’s all fun and games
‘Til it’s real and it ain’t
But I’m blushing and gushing
Head over Lucchese’s
I thought I’d escaped but his arrow it grazed me
He’s rough ’round the edges
He swears and he’s reckless
And damn if I can’t get enough
They say that it’s pain and it’s pleasure together
Now he’s got me saying I want this forever
I should’ve known better than falling in love
