shoulda
known better
I picked her up
late in the night
rescued like a kitten
from a bad situation
fed & clothed her
put a roof over
tried to do things right
but you & I know
how things start
is how things end
I became the wrong guy
sure enough
came the time
tough guy standing
come asking for her
to take her away
rescue poor kitten
from a bad situation
I did not stand
in her way
helped her find things
pack more bags
than she came with
help her on her way
guess I shoulda known
she nor me
was born to stay
