Monica - U Should've Known Betta Lyrics






I didn't ask to go with you to Mexico
I really didn't need the shopping spree
In L.A. or Melrose, boy if you didn't know it, well, now you know,
I didn't need the furs or the jewelry
Because material things they don't mean much to me
And ever since you've been gone
I have been holding us down on my own

[Pre-chorus:]
I never ever cheated
I never ever lied
So you can stop asking, asking me why
Why I never left you, and why I kept it real
And why I'm still with you

[Chorus:]
You should've known better than to think I would leave
You should've known better than to doubt me
It don't matter if you're up, matter if you're down
Either way I'm gonna be around
You should've known that I would stay by your side
You should've known your girl was gonna ride or die
And it just don't matter if ya rich or poor
Out or in doing 5 to10
You should've known better

What makes you think that I would forget about you
Think about it who comes to see ya
Every Saturday and Monday I was on that receiver
It's me your girl your life your world
My family and friends they just don't understand
They say I should leave you lone
But I say that they all should just leave us 'lone
Don't u get it

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus x2]

    Just the loyalty in this song is why I still love it 😍... wish I could find a keeper like the woman behind the words

  41. J.... S....

    Still my jam in 2019!!!!

  42. C.... M....

    This song reminds me of my wife. Weve known eachother since highscool. We ended up marrying different people and both divorced and married eachother. And now we are happily married to eachother.

  43. K.... W....

    If you don't like this song - ya guilty!

  44. A.... A....

    Dumb songq

  45. C.... H....

    I love Monica music. I don’t see why she spoke on R Kelly when she has been involved with an older man before at the age of 16. Some of us can listen read and see those women are lying on this man. “He gave me a song free of charge”. Monica words. As an honest person I wouldn’t have said a word. My opinion.

  46. A.... A....

    That part of my life is over and I'm moving on to better things and people

  47. J.... M....

    Love R @B.

    Every Saturday and Monday I was on that receiver
    It's me your girl, your life, your world
    My family and friends, they just don't understand
    They say I should leave you alone
    But I say that they should all just leave us alone
    Don't you get it?
    I never every cheated

    This song hits home for me big time. 2004 My daughter was 3 years old and I was facing 5 out the gate. At that time, I was going to do that time for a so call frein d who tired out to be a straight up BITCH (lesson learned). Lucky for me my faith mom held me down behind her dude back(yea we broke up shortly after my daughter was born). I was all over Ohio until I got released from Perry Ohio. I can remember me asking the guard did he see a green color car outside he was like no so I was about to walk the rail road tracks to my mom's house in Cleveland(about a 3 hour walk) when I came outside and say my mom and my daughter and he mom. That shi t was hella special even though we didn't get back together. Nothing in this world like a strong woman , I do hope to find another one again one day.
