Should I even listen Should I even try Will I just be hearing the same old lines Baby See it doesn't matter What you say this time Cause our whole relationship Is built on one lie You say things aren't the way they seem But still you can't come straight with me How can you think that you're in love When you don't know the meaning of Love shoulda brought you, Brought you, Home last night You shoulda been with me Shoulda been right by my side Baby If you cared anything for me Then love woulda brought you To me last night Gotta hand it to ya Ya had me there for a while I was so in love with you I couldn't see past your smile Now I smell the coffee Boy, I got a wake up call And it left the message That you just don't care at all You can't expect me to Believe that she doesn't mean anything You say that you love only me Your kinda lovin' my darling I just don't need Love shoulda brought you, Brought you, Home last night You shoulda been with me Shoulda been right by my side Baby If you cared anything for me Then love woulda brought you To me last night Then you woulda been sincere And I wouldn't be in tears And love woulda brought you To me last night Oh baby why Why do men think that love's just for the moment Not over time Please tell me why Why should I think that You're gonna be sincere Are you deservin' Don't blame me if I just don't believe, I just don't believe That you'll allways be here Love shoulda brought you, Brought you, Home last night You shoulda been with me Shoulda been right by my side Baby If you cared anything for me Then love woulda brought you To me last night
