I didnt ask to go with you to Mexico
I really didnt need the shopping spree
In L.A. or Melrose, boy if you didnt know it
Well, now you knowI didnt need the furs or the jewelries
Because material things they dont mean much to me
And ever since you've been gone
I have been holding us down on my ownI 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 youU shouldve known betta than to think I would leave
U shouldve known betta than to doubt me
It dont matter if you are up, matter if you are down
Either way I'm gonna be aroundYou shouldve known that I would stay by your side
You shouldve known your girl was gonna ride or die
And it just dont matter if ya rich or poor, out or in doing 5 to10
U shouldve known bettaWhat 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
Its me your girl, your life, your worldMy family and friends they just dont understand
They say I should leave you alone
But I say that they all should just leave us alone
Dont you get itI 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 youU shouldve known betta than to think I would leave
U shouldve known betta than to doubt me
It dont matter if you are up, matter if you are down
Either way I'm gonna be aroundYou shouldve known that I would stay by your side
You shouldve known your girl was gonna ride or die
And it just dont matter if ya rich or poor, out or in doing 5 to10
U shouldve known bettaU shouldve known betta than to think I would leave
U shouldve known betta than to doubt me
It dont matter if you are up, matter if you are down
Either way I'm gonna be aroundYou shouldve known that I would stay by your side
You shouldve known your girl was gonna ride or die
And it just dont matter if ya rich or poor, out or in doing 5 to10
U shouldve known betta
