She moved out west because she had to feel the sun
her little dresses that she wears came with her too
it's complicated but
I'm really just a pawn
once he's there I cant forget
that I'm all alone.
So

I shoulda known, I shoulda known better that your..
your cheating heart; it doesn't really matter cause it
fell apart with all the other irony.

Cause I lost it all on the lottery
and I risked it all to give you away.
And I can't forget all the times I've said
I should've known, I should've known better.

I'll run the record shop if you can go to school.
Take care what you can get
that's the golden rule.
And I can't disguise the colors that you bend
just when I think it's right,
that's the way it ends.

I shoulda known, I shoulda known better that your..
your cheating heart; it doesn't really matter cause it
fell apart with all the other irony.

Cause I lost it all on the lottery
and I risked it all to give you away.
And I can't forget all the times I've said
I should've known, I should've known better.

And I hate my life
so before it starts to go,
before I die I'd like to let you know
that I can't lie.
So bide your time
and breath another breath
and I'll be done before you say goodbye.

Cause I lost it all on the lottery
and I risked it all to give you away.
And I can't forget all the times I've said
I should've known, I should've known better.

Cause I lost it all on the lottery
and I risked it all to give you away.
And I can't forget all the times I've said
I should've known, I should've known better.
I should've known, I should've known better.

Cause I lost it all...
