Should’ve Known Better Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There’s a man on a horse with a longbow 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
[Refrain]
But his bed was warm and it’s cold in the desert
I should’ve known better than falling in love
[Chorus]
And it’s all fun and games
‘Til it’s real and it ain’t
But I’m blushing and gushing, head over Luccheses
I thought I’d escaped, but his arrow, it grazed me
[Post-Chorus]
There’s a hole in my favorite dress, blood dripping down my chest
Making a trail in the dust
[Refrain]
They say that it’s pain and it’s pleasure together
I should’ve known better than falling in love
[Verse 2]
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 in to kiss me
And damn if I can’t get enough
[Refrain]
They say that it’s pain and it’s pleasure together
I should’ve known better than falling in love
[Chorus]
And it’s all fun and games
‘Til it’s real and it ain’t
But I’m blushing and gushing, head over Luccheses
I thought I’d escaped, but his arrow, it grazed me
[Instrumental Break]
[Post-Chorus]
He’s rough ’round the edges, he swears and he’s reckless
And damn if I can’t get enough
[Outro]
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
