I didn't ask to go with you to Mexico,
I really didn't need the shopping spree in L.A. on Melrose,
Boy if you didn't know it , well now you know.
I didn't need the furs or the jewelry,
because material things it don't mean much to me
And ever since you've been gone,
I've been holdin us down on my own, and no I never
HOOK
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?
CHORUS
You should've known betta than to think I would leave,
you should've known betta 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,
and it just don't matter if you're rich or poor
out or in doing 5 to 10 You should've known betta
VERSE 2
What makes you think that I would forget about ya
think about it, Who comes to see ya?
Every Saturday and Monday I was on that (on that receiver),
oh oh oh its me your girl, your life, your world,
my family and friends they just don't understand (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 it it
HOOK
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?
CHORUS
You should've known betta than to think I would leave,
you should've known betta than to doubt me (don't you doubt me)
It don't matter if you're up matter if you're down
either way I'm gonna be around (beeeeeee),
You should've known that I would stay by your side (by your side baby),
You should've known your girl was gonna ride or die (ride or dieeeee),
and it just don't matter (don't matter baby) if your rich or poor
out or in doing 5 to 10 (doing 5 to 10) You should've known betta (you should've known betta)
BRIDGE
You should've known betta (betta), than to think I would leave (you should've known).
You should've known betta than to doubt me (you should have known).
It don't matter if you up (nooooo), matter if you down, either way I'm gonna be around.
You should've known that I would stay by your side (no matter what they think about you) you should've known your girl was gonna ride or die, (there's nothing I can do without you). And it just don't matter if you're rich or poor, out or in, doing 5 to 10, you should've known better.
