about

This song was written in one session with Nik in the studio. We had previously discussed putting together some song titles (which I emailed to Nik) for songs that we wanted to try to then put together to sell to film, cable, etc This song was one of those song titles. By the time I got to the studio, Nik had already had everything there ready for me... great beat. I basically came in, sat down, came up with the vocal melody and started scribbling Lyrics as fast as I could to go with the song title. What you hear is exactly what came out of that session.

lyrics

I Shoulda Known, I Shoulda Known, I Shoulda Known, I Shoulda Known

You See I’m Workin Every Night…..To Half Past Three
And I’m Noticin My Woman…..Ain’t Been Home With Me
I Shoulda Known, I Shoulda Known, I Shoulda Known, I Shoulda Known

She Said I’m Goin to My Girlfriends…..Cuz She’s Had That Week
And I’m Giving Her My Shoulder….So She can Weep

I Shoulda Known, I Shoulda Known, I Shoulda Known, I Shoulda Known

Then One Night I’m Walking Home….And I’m Thinkin that I saw Her With Nate Tyrone
But I Keep In My Direction…..to Turn Down My Street with My Shuffling Feet

I Shoulda Known, I Shoulda Known, I Shoulda Known, I Shoulda Known

Walk into My Place……. and I See That Things were Taken
And It’s Obvious to See…Someone Else is Gettin Bacon….and it Ain’t Me

I Shoulda Known, I Shoulda Known, I Shoulda Known, I Shoulda Known
