Lyrics

SHOULD HAVE KNOWN

I should have known
That you would steal all my lazy mornings
I should have known
That you would rob me of my sleep
I should have known
That you would mess up all peace & quiet
I should have known
You’re here to stay for me to keep

And I am
Grateful, grateful, grateful
So grateful, that’s what I am
For the joy that you inspire
For the love that takes me higher
You have set my heart on fire
But I should have known, oh!

I should have known
That you would use up my precious freedom
I should have known
That you would need me all the time
I should have known
That you would blow up my sense of duty
I should have known
You’re here to stay and you are mine

CHORUS

I should have known (3x)
Oh God, I should have known
I should have known (3x)
Oh God, I should have!

You didn’t know
If I would live up to expectations
You didn’t know
If I could run the extra mile
You didn’t know
Now who would wait for you on the other side
You didn’t know
And yet you still arrived in style

CHORUS

I should have known (3x)
Oh God, I should have known
I should have known (3x)
Oh God, I should have!
