I shoulda known better, nothing lasts forever...
Hey!
It all started out in a tan Dodge van
Two Hundred bucks that we stole from her dad
Out the back of his meth lab, took the 45, and I would (out?) demand that
Little Bonnie, bout to be a mommy, came to California with Johnny
They had a run in with the law; she shoulda listened to her ma
And she said we'd be together (she said)
She used the word forever (she said)
Oh, my lovely lovely (she said)
Why haven't I loved you longer (Why'd I love to love her?)
I, I shoulda known better
Nothing lasts forever, yeah, lasts forever
I shoulda known better (ooh, better)
I shoulda known better (ooh, better)
I shoulda known
Abortion clinic, I shoulda forced the issue
But she did it with the hanger and some tissue
Don't cry, dry your eye (she said)
I'll be back on my feet tonight (she said)
I'll be walking the street tonight (she said)
Cause these arms gotta eat tonight
Then we made love, like a couple of drunk buffalo, was I rough enough
It was the last time I'd ever see her
I'd try to thank her, for gonorrhea
But then she split, and stole my sweater
Dude, I shoulda known better
I, I shoulda known better
Nothing lasts forever, yeah, lasts forever
Shoulda known better
Shoulda ended in the tan Dodge van
With two hundred dollars worth of partying
But instead I'm sitting on Sunset
Selling my soul for a hit
Yeah!
What next?
Yeah I, shoulda known better
Nothing lasts forever, yeah, lasts forever
When you said you'd never leave and we'd be together
Nothing lasts forever, nothing ever lasts forever
I shoulda known better (ooh, better)
I shoulda known better (ooh, better)
I shoulda known better (ooh, better)
I shoulda known better (ooh, better)
I shoulda known.
