I didn't ask to go with you to Mexico
I really didn't need the shopping sprees

In L.A. or Melrose, boy if you didn't know it, well, now you know,
I didn't need the furs or the jewelries
Because material things they don't 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 should've known better than to think I would leave
You should've known better than to doubt me
It don't matter if you are up

matter if you are down
Either way im gonna be around
You should've known that I would stay by your side

You should've known your girl was gonna ride or die
And it just don't matter if ya rich or poor
Out or in doing 5 to10

You should've 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
It's me your girl your life your world

My family and friends they just don't understand
They say I should leave you lone
But I say that they should just leave us lone

Don't 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 should've known better than to think I would leave

You should've known better than to doubt me
It don't matter if you are up
matter if you are down

Either way im gonna be around
You should've known that I would stay by your side
You should've known your girl was gonna ride or die

And it just don't matter if ya rich or poor
Out or in doing 5 to 10
You should've known better


You should've known better than to think I would leave
You should've known better than to doubt me

It don't matter if you are up
Matter if you are down
Either way im gonna be around

You should've known that I would stay by your side
You should've known your girl was gonna ride or die
And it just don't matter if ya rich or poor

Out or in doing 5 to10
You should've known better
