I didn't ask to go with you to Mexico
I really didn't need the shopping spree
In L.A. or Melrose,
boy if you didn't know it
Well now 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 been gone
I've been holding us down on my own
I never ever cheated
I never ever lied
So you can stop asking, asking me Why
Why I never left you, and why I kept it real
And why I'm still with you
You should've known better than to think I would leave
You should've known better than to doubt me
It don't matter if you're up
Matter if you're down
Either way I'm gonna be around
You should've known that I would stay by ya side
You shoulda known ya girl was gunna ride or die
And it just don't matter if you're rich or poor out or in
Doing 5 to 10
You shoulda known better
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 receiver
oh oh oh an
It's me ya girl, ya life, ya world
My 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
I never ever cheated
I never ever lied
So you can stop asking, asking me why
Why I never left you, and why I kept it real
And why I'm still with you
You should've known better than to think I would leave
You should've known better than to doubt me
It don't matter if you're up
Matter if you're down
Either way I'm gonna be around
You should've known that I would stay by your side
You should've known your girl was gonna ride or die
it dont matter what they think about you
theres nothing i cant do without you
And it just don't matter if ya rich or poor
Out or in
doing 5 to 10
You should've known better
