Monica F/ You Should've Known lyrics

I didn't ask to go with you to Mexico<br />
I really didn't need the shopping sprees in L.A. and Melrose<br />
Boy if you didn't know it, well now, you know<br />
I didn't need the furs or the jewelry<br />
<br />
Because material things, they don't mean much to me<br />
And ever since you've been gone<br />
I've been holding us down on my own<br />
You know<br />
<br />
I never ever cheated, I never ever lied<br />
So you can stop asking, asking me why<br />
Why I never left you and why I've kept it real<br />
And why I'm still with you<br />
<br />
You should've known better than to think I would leave<br />
You should've known better than to doubt me<br />
It don't matter if you're up, matter if you're down<br />
Either way, I'm gonna be around<br />
<br />
You should've known that I would stay by your side<br />
You should've known, your girl was gonna ride or die<br />
And it just don't matter if you're rich or poor<br />
Out here doing five to ten<br />
You should've known better<br />
<br />
What makes you think that I would forget about you<br />
Think about it, who comes to see you<br />
Every Saturday and Monday, I was on that receiver<br />
It's me your girl, your life, your world<br />
<br />
My family and friends, they just don't understand<br />
They say, I should leave you alone<br />

But I say that they should all just leave us alone<br />
Don't you get it?<br />
<br />
I never ever cheated, I never ever lied<br />
So you can stop asking, asking me why<br />
Why I never left you and why I've kept it real<br />
And why I'm still with you<br />
<br />
You should've known better than to think I would leave<br />
You should've known better than to doubt me<br />
It don't matter if you're up, matter if you're down<br />
Either way, I'm gonna be around<br />
<br />
You should've known that I would stay by your side<br />
You should've known, your girl was gonna ride or die<br />
And it just don't matter if you're rich or poor<br />
Out here doing five to ten<br />
You should've known better<br />
<br />
You should've known better than to think I would leave<br />
You should've known better than to doubt me<br />
It don't matter if you're up, matter if you're down<br />
Either way, I'm gonna be around<br />
<br />
You should've known that I would stay by your side<br />
You should've known your girl was gonna ride or die<br />
And it just don't matter if you're rich or poor<br />
Out here doing five to ten<br />
You should've known better
