Shoulda Known Better - Unwritten Law

It all started out in a tan Dodge van

200 bucks that we stole from her dad

Out the back of his meth lab

Took the 45, I’ll demand that

Lived with Bonnie 'bout to be a mommy

Came to California with Johnny

They had a run-in with the law

She shoulda listened to her ma She said we’d be together (she said)

She used the word forever (she said)

Oh, my lovely lover (she said)

Why I’d love to love her

I-I I shoulda known better

Nothing lasts forever

Yeah, lasts forever

I shoulda known better

Ooh better

I shoulda known better

Ooh better

I shoulda known

Abortion clinic

I shoulda forced the issue

But she did it, a hanger and some tissue

Don’t cry dry your eye, (she said)

I’ll be back on my feet tonight, (she said)

I’ll be walking the streets tonight, (she said)

Cuz these arms gotta eat tonight

Then we made love like a couple drunk buffalo

Was that rough enough?

It was the last time I’d ever see

I tried to thank her, with gonorrhea

But then she split, stole my sweater

Dude, I shoulda known better

I-I I shoulda known better

Nothing lasts forever

Yeah, lasts forever

Shoulda known better

Shoulda ended in the tan Dodge van

With 200 dollars worth of partying

But instead I’m sitting on sunset

Selling my soul for a hit

Yeah, what next?

Yeah, I-I I shoulda known better

Nothing lasts forever

Yeah, lasts forever

When you said you’d never leave and we’d be together

Nothing lasts forever, nothing ever lasts forever

Shoulda known better

Ooh better

I shoulda known better

Ooh better

I shoulda known

Ooh better

I shoula known better

Ooh better

I shoulda known
