She Should Know

Chorus:
She should know, lord, better than to love me
She should know I would never be true
She should know I would shatter her heart into pieces
She should know 'cause I told her that's what I would do

She said she was on the rebound
From a sordid and cheap love affair
She said she was lonely and please would I hold her
She knew I was trouble and she didn't care

Chorus

Our bodies entangled together
Many nights there I spent in her arms
But I never allowed her the key to my heart
In lust, not in love, I resisted her charms

Chorus

As a drunkard returns to his liquor
In love she had fallen once more
She said that she surely would die if I left her
I told her goodbye as I walked out the door

Chorus

Day and nighttime her mem'ry did haunt me
I returned for I knew she was the one
Her body I found stained with tears and with blood
In despair she had taken her life with a gun

Chorus
