Monica: U Should've Known Betta

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 jewelries
Because material things they dont mean much to me
And ever since you've been gone
I have been holding us down on my own

I never ever cheated
I never ever lied
So you can stop asking, asking me why
Why I never left you, and why I kept it real
And why im still with you

You shouldve known better than to think I would leave
You shouldve known better than to doubt me
It dont matter if you are up
matter if you are 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 ya rich or poor
Out or in doing 5 to10
You shouldve known better

What makes you think that I would forget about you
Think about it who comes to see ya
Every Saturday and Monday I was on that receiver
Its me your girl your life your world
My family and friends they just dont understand
They say I should leave you lone
But I say that they should just leave us lone
Dont u get it

I never ever cheated
I never ever lied
So u can stop asking, asking me why
Why I never left you, and why I kept it real
And why im still with you

You shouldve known better than to think I would leave
You shouldve known better than to doubt me
It dont matter if you are up
matter if you are 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 ya rich or poor
Out or in doing 5 to 10
You shouldve known better

You shouldve known better than to think I would leave
You shouldve known better than to doubt me
It dont matter if you are up
Matter if you are 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 ya rich or poor
Out or in doing 5 to10
You shouldve known better
