Bass intro

Well you left me all alone
You found a-somebody new
I might have known, I might have known
You turned around and told me
That we were through
I might have know, I might have know
Well you shook me all up
Don't know what to do
I might have known, I might have know
Well you're walking down the town
With your head in the air
I might have known, I might have known
You had me talking to myself
Pullin' out my hair
I might have known, I might have known
You made a wreck out of me
And you know that ain't fair
I might have know, I might have known
Whoow

Guitar break

Yeah my mama told me son
She cannot be true
I might have known, I might have known
I didn't believe the warning
And I fell for you
I might have known, I might have known
Well I'm walking the floor
Don't know what to do
I might have known, I might have known
Yeah

Piano break

Well you're walking down the town
With your head in the air
I might have known, I might have know
You had me talking to myself
Pullin out my hair
I might have known, I might have know
You made a wreck out of me
And you know that ain't fair
I might have known, I might have known
