[Intro 1]
Oh oh ooh-oh
Oh oh ooh-oh
[Am]Da- [Em]da, da- da- da- daah[F]
Da- [Dm]da[G]
[Am][G][C][D]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Oh, I didn't ask to [Em]go with you to Mexico
[F]I really didn't need the shopping spree
in [Dm]L.A. and [G]Melrose
Boy, if you [C]didn't know it, well now you know
[Am]I didn't need the furs[Em] or the jewelry
[F]Because material things
they don't mean much to me
[Dm]And ever since[G] you've been gone
I've been [C]holding us down on my own

[Pre-chorus 1]
You know I [Am]never ever cheated
[Em]I never ever lied
So [F]you can stop asking, asking me why
[Dm]Why I never left you
[G]And why I've kept it real
And [Am]why I'm still [G]with you
[C]You sho[D]uld've known

[Chorus 1]
[Am]better
than to think I [Em]would leave (leave)
You should've known [F]better
than to doubt me (me)
It don't [Dm]matter if you're up,
mat[G]ter if you're down
Either [C]way I'm gonna be around
You should've known
[Am]that I would stay by [Em]your side (side)
You should've known
your [F]girl was gonna ride or die
And it just [Dm]don't matter if [G]you're rich or poor
Out or [Am]in, doing f[G]ive to t[C]en
You [D]should've known

[Verse 2]
[Am](better) What makes you think
[Em]that I would forget about you?
[F]Think about it, who comes to see you[Dm]?
Every Saturday [G]and Monday,
I was [C]on that (receiver)
It's [Am]me (me), your girl (girl), yo[Em]ur life (life),
your world (world)
My [F]family and friends
they just don't understand
They [Dm]say I should leave you al[G]one
But I say
that they [C]all should just leave us alone
Don't you get it?

[Pre-chorus 2]
I [Am]never ever cheated
[Em]I never ever lied
So [F]you can stop asking, asking me why
[Dm]Why I never left you
[G]And why I've kept it real
And [Am]why I'm still [G]with you
[C]You sho[D]uld've known

[Chorus 2]
[Am]better
than to think I [Em]would leave (leave)
You should've known [F]better
than to doubt me (me)
It don't [Dm]matter if you're up,
mat[G]ter if you're down
Either [C]way I'm gonna be around
You should've known
[Am]that I would stay by [Em]your side (side)
You should've known
your [F]girl was gonna ride or die
And it just [Dm]don't matter if [G]you're rich or poor
Out or [Am]in, doing f[G]ive to t[C]en
You [D]should've known

than to think I [Em]would leave (leave)
You should've known [F]better
than to doubt me (me)
It don't [Dm]matter if you're up,
mat[G]ter if you're down
Either [C]way I'm gonna be around
You should've known
