Monica - U Should've Known Lyrics

[Verse 1:]
I didn't ask to go with you to Mexico.
I really didn't need the shoppin spees in
L.A, on Melrose, boy if you didn't know it well know 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've been holdin us down on my own

[Hook:]
I never ever cheated.
I never ever lied.
So you could stop asking me,
Asking me why?
Why I never left you?
And why I kept it real?
And why I'm still with you?

[Chorus:]
U should've known better than to think I would leave.
U should've better than to doubt me dear.
It don't matter if you're, matter if you're down.
Either way I'm gonna be around.
U should've known that I would stay by your side.
U should've known your girl was gonna ride or die.
And it just don't matter if you're rich, or poor, out'or in,
Doing 5 to 10.
U should've known better.

[Verse 2:]
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 reciever.
Me (me),
Your girl (girl)
Your life (life)
Your world (world)
Family and friends they just don't understand.
They say I should leave you alone, but I say that they all should just leave us alone.
Don't you get it?

[Hook]

[Chorus]

[Chorus repeated]

No matter what they think about you,
There's nothing I could do without you.
