Janet Jackson - Shoulda Known Better Lyrics
A baby girl without a home
Tragedy's reign left her alone
I guess I shoulda known better
But she's a citizen of the world
A right to life her cry's unheard
Why why why why
Part of the revolution
Ready for real solutions
We won't accept excuses
We tolerate no abuses
Cause I don't want my face to be
That poster child for being naive
Why why why why
I guess I shoulda known better
Headlines are real or just the news
Between the lines there's human truth
I guess I shoulda known better
Each day I'm faced with irony but
Just can't feel casual about casualties no
I guess I shoulda known better
I guess I shoulda known better
Why why why why
Part of the revolution
Ready for real solutions
We won't accept excuses
We tolerate no abuses
Cause I don't want my face to be
That poster child for being naive
Why why why why
I guess I shoulda known better
It's never the critic that counts
Cause critics only wanna talk
While enlightened minds and open hearts
Together make this world a better place
Awakening a better choice
It only starts if you lift your voice
And say I shoulda known better
And so next time I'll know better
Why why why why
Part of the revolution
Ready for real solutions
We won't accept excuses
We tolerate no abuses
Cause I don't want my face to be
That poster child for being naive
Why why why why
I guess I shoulda known better
Why why why why
I guess I shoulda known better
I had this great epiphany
And rhythm nation was the dream
I guess next time I'll know better

Janet Jackson Shoulda Known Better Comments
I'm a die heart fan of janet. I luv u.
She sounds so much like MJ
Gorgeous and Powerful Track !!!! Sticks In Your Mind !!!! Should Have Way More Views
Janet Jackson Avery
I'll take a chance at buying UNBREAKABLE for a third time! The first one got scratched up after a year of staying inside my CD changer stereo. A fire that torched my apartment also had left smoke damage on the stereo ITSELF! The more notices which come to my mind about "BROKEN HEARTS HEAL" being a tribute song to her deceased brother Michael, the more likely I am to dump 1968 pennies inside the Coinstar machine, then purchase a 3rd copy of UNBREAKABLE from the TARGET store 😔 DAMMNN!
Greys anatomy is bullshit.
I'm here because of Grey's Anatomy too!
EPIC* Album.
4:29-4:42: This part at the end is depressing.
This is a very powerful song for sure, Janet Jackson is such an amazing artist for speaking so much truth.
Grey's Anatomy brought me here :-*
She sang this at the concert
so glad I bought this album. gold.
I love this song
So dead
that last verse just made me cry even harder cuz she let us know that rythem nation was a Happy period in her life and it brought her many blessings.

I had this great epiphany

Anyone know the piano chords for the bridge?
I've done terrible things listening to this song and thinking about Jackson and April together Again!
I don't give a shit about grey's bullshit. I am here because i discovered that JJ is back in the game, and i am well surprised, finally some true music and voice. Screw that dumb idiot anatomy shit.
What? At least be happy they're using Janet's music in a show! And that her music gets exposed to more people once again
Daniel Kiss I'm here because of TV Tropes mentioning this song on the page for her.
Queeropatra Janet is still recovering from "Nipplegate".
