about

If you've heard the original "Shoulda Known Better", this version takes a HARD LEFT! This is the alter-ego response to the 2019 release and the third remix released on "The Remixes" project.

Featuring pop culture references with an EDM/R&B/Rap fusion, this is me saying "When it comes to dating, I am no longer settling for second place. I KNOW I'm the best option!" Pursuing someone who you know is interested in somebody else has two results: they choose you or you get burned. But that's the risk we take, right?

lyrics

INTRO
They ain’t ready for this
This a whole new vibe (let’s get it)

Girl the way you burn it up (ahhhh)
I want that smoke (haha)
Gotcha over there laughin’
But this ain’t no joke

When I hit you with that stroke
You was sleepin’ now you woke
Clean up everything we broke
Then introduce me to your folks

It’ll be game over
No more mess
Just say yes, end that stress
Lay your head up on my chest

Touched by God, child you blessed
Let me put your fears to rest
No contest, I’m your best
If you want it be my guest

VERSE
I just wanna be with ya
So frustrated
Say you love me like a brotha
But we ain’t related

All it takes is one kiss
Let’s not complicate this
Swipe right, take ya pick
Promise you won’t miss it

I see you over there flirtin’
What he got, that I don’t
When you know
I got everything you want

You can’t touch this
So Rogue, Your X-man gotta go
All alone in space, Han Solo
En Vogue, Never gonna get it (oh)

PRECHORUS
Ain’t no way that I was gonna quit
Hotter than the rest, you so lit
Tried to make you see us as a perfect fit
Got voted off the island, Survivor shit

Why do nice guys finish last?
Holdin’ out my arms you run past
To ya old flame with no game
Over there flirtin’ with another dame

Yeah I felt the pain, no gain
Like Banks last shot, had no aim
Kinda knew it would end this way
Guess I only had myself to blame

CHORUS
I shoulda known better
Than try to get with you
When you had somebody already getting with you

I shoulda known better
Than try to spend my time
With a girl who already knew wasn’t mine

I shoulda known better (x6)
Known better ohhh!

VERSE
Flash light, so bright
You make me see the light on the darkest night
And your body so ill
Best Picture, Parasite

Moonlight, I was treadin’ so softly
Until you took the air right outta me
Now I’m sinking fast
Tryna find my way like a compass

PRECHORUS
It must be witchcraft
All the spells you castin’
But I’m seein’ through ya Hocus Pocus
Winifred Sanderson

I wanna buy a book
Girl the way you play the game is superior
No fear in ya exterior
Award winning Pulitzer (uh)

You fooled me to think we
Could ever be together for eternity
Had to be too blind to see
Shoulda known better what was right for me

CHORUS
I shoulda known better
Than try to get with you
When you had somebody already getting with you

I shoulda known better
Than try to spend my time
With a girl who already knew wasn’t mine

I shoulda known better (x6)

This is the remix
You ain’t ready for this
