all the things i should have known lyrics

Baby
Baby girl

If I had been there to wipe your tears
Then no one else would be around
If I had been there to cradle your fears
We'd still be together now, now

Wish I could be there to share your dreams
I wish that I could still deep down, baby
But you are gone and I'm here alone
And I sure do regret it now

Oh, yes I do
Said I really do
Oh, I'm missing you
Oh, I'm missing you, baby

Baby, I should have known
I should've cared just a little bit more
I shouldn't have listened to a word from the fellas
I shouldn't have let my sweetie go

Baby I, I want you to know
If I could take it back you know that I would
I'd give anything to get things back
Now that I know all the things I should have known

Ooh, baby
Ooh, baby girl

I shoulda been there with my baby every night
Been kissin' you and holding you so tight
How I wish that I could be with you right now
I'd give anything to see your smile, smile

But I'm all alone and all the 'should've's in the world
They won't bring you back and I'm the one to blame
I didn't know how to act or to save a love
And I sure do regret it, lady, lady, lady, lady

Baby, I should have known
I should've cared just a little bit more
I shouldn't have listened to a word from the fellas
I shouldn't have let my sweetie go

Baby I, I want you to know
If I could take it back you know that I would
I'd give anything to get things back
Now that I know all the things I should have known

I promise I won't ignore you
You'll never, never, never be alone, no
Just lean on me as your shoulder
Girl, I promise you I won't let you fall, oh, yes I do, yeah, yeah

Baby, I should have known
I should've cared just a little bit more
I shouldn't have listened to a word from the fellas
I shouldn't have let my sweetie go

Baby I, I want you to know
If I could take it back you know that I would
I'd give anything to get things back
Now that I know all the things I should have known
All the things I should have known
All the things I should have known

All the things I should, the things I should
The things I should have known
