Lyrics The Pretenders

The Pretenders

I Should Of

If I'd known then

If only I had known

What, where or when

I would of kept you on the phone

Hindsight is tough

It's so obvious

Never enough for the two of us

I would of tried a little harder

I would have cried a little louder

I would have lied with more aplomb

I, I, I, I, I, I, I should have known

When we made love

Sometimes it was great

Just once or twice

I would have called it second rate

Anyway the days passed by in peace

I never though you needed

More release

I would of tried a little harder

I would have cried a little louder

I would have lied with more aplomb

I, I, I, I, I, I, I should have known

If I had...if, if, if

I should have, I should have

I could have, I could have

Oh fuck, I really miss you

I really miss you

I should have tried a little harder

I should have cried a whole lot louder

I should have lied

With more aplomb

I, I, If only I, I should have known
