Verse 1:
I didnt ask to go with you to mexico
I really didnt need the shopping sprees in l.a. or melrose
Boy if you didnt know it, well now you know
I didnt need the furs or the jewelry
Because material things they dont mean much to me
And ever since youve been gone
Ive been holding us down on my own
You know
Chorus:
Im never ever cheating
I never ever lied
So you can stop asking
Asking me why
Why I never left you
And why Ive kept it real
And why Im still with you
Refrain:
You shouldve known better than to think I would leave
You shouldve known better than to doubt me
It dont matter if youre up, matter if youre down
Either way Im gonna be around
You 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 youre rich or poor
Out here doing five to ten
You shouldve known better
Verse 2:
What makes you think that I would forget about you
Think about it, who comes to see you
Every saturday and monday I was on, on
Its me your girl, your life, your world
My family and friends, they just dont understand
They say I should leave you alone
But I say that they should all just leave us alone
Dont you get it?
Chorus:
Im never ever cheating
I never ever lied
So you can stop asking
Asking me why
Why I never left you
And why Ive kept it real
And why Im still with you
Refrain:
You shouldve known better than to think I would leave
You shouldve known better than to doubt me
It dont matter if youre up, matter if youre down
Either way Im gonna be around
You 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 youre rich or poor
Out here doing five to ten
You shouldve known better

Refrain:
You shouldve known better than to think I would leave
You shouldve known better than to doubt me
It dont matter if youre up, matter if youre down
Either way Im gonna be around
You 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 youre rich or poor
Out here doing five to ten
You shouldve known better
