when there's bad weather
SHOULD HAVE KNOW BETTER...

Poured out my heart to you,
But I should have known better,
You laughed...and said adieu!

Rough desperate cowgirl Etta,
Really should have known better,
When she finally got a boyfriend
She quickly branded his rear end,
He surely did live to regret her....

Attractive scenes so manifold,
Pictures of the floating world unfold
Hiroshige's landscapes flow-
One hundred views of Edo
Now known better as Tokyo

Tribute to Hiroshige's wood block prints ukyo-e...

Peter has 150 candy bars, he eats 125, what does he have now
Diabetes... thought it would be kinda obvious he'd be endowed
Should have known better
Followed doc's orders to the letter
Instead of gorging himself like a big fat cow...

The dagger in my heart, 
It twists,
Alas, My love for you has only hurt me.
I should have known better
Than To fall in love with
Nothing less than a prince
Who saw himself as little more than a pig.
Each kiss... Each embrace,
More desperate than the last;
I should have known....

From at least 8 trees, he could freely eat.
But unfortunately, that wasn't enough.
I should have known better than to 
leave my pecans outside to dry.
Caught in the very act of eating my pecans, the
squirrel said, "Don't impede; I've got a family to feed".

You played me like a card
Everytime you're about to loose
You'd pull me out 
When you win you'd set me aside...
You'd say I'm a queen of hearts
Your favorite out of the deck
I should of known better 
You called her the same too
Last I checked there's only one queen of hearts...
And that ain't me.....
I rule in a castle....

I wanted to make you happy, 
I truly did, I tried!
But my love you through away, 
and a river of tears I cried.

You promised me forever, 
but broke my heart instead.
I thought you wanted marriage, 
but I was sadly mislead.

You would never hurt me, 
blindly i believed this true.
But I should have known better, 
then to ever trust you!...

Listen to poem:

one after the other
all my mistakes i did with you
took life for granted
i was unseasoned and naïve
yes i should have known better
but i was young and foolish
it’s been a long time coming
i should have told you long ago
i have regrets and i’m sorry
but can’t turn back the hands of time

I should of said no
I should of walked away
I should of let go
I should of made you stay

It is hard to say good bye
To each and every day
It is hard to say hi
When I felt our love walk away

I should of known better to fall in love
I should of thought it through
I should of never put you above
I should of felt friends for you

She told him of her predicament
Forgetting that he wanted to fix things
Always his own way

All she wanted him to do was listen
Instead he punched noses, made phone calls,
Sent an email, screamed and hollered.

She had known better.
She knew he was not the one who could listen
And sit back and do nothing, not trying to fix it.

She would do better next time she vowed,
but of course, she didn’t....

We ALways Said 
We'd Be Together Forever.
What The Hell Went Wrong?
What Happened To Our Realtaionship?
Our Love, Like The Winter's Sun,
Was Bright While It Lasted...
But Too Short Lived.
Maybe If I Would've Stayed...
Not Gone...
I Went For Us.  Not Only For Me,
For Our Future.
You Should've Known Better 
Than To Mess With Family.
I Had True Feelings For You, But A Girl Will Come And Go,
But Family Is Forever!...

Smile echos joy ,heart suffers...quietly in pain.
A desire of thoughts to silence,but the soul calls your name.
Just pushing through the day trying to remain sain.
The eyes no life,the lips no words.The pulse beats no longer.
Drifting farther into death,emotions they've wondered.
floating on red tide as i ponder.
thinking..what went wrong,head resting upon drift wood,
Should of known better than to offer damaged goods....

started something i couldn't finish
 in the end tryin to fix it i look fiendish
 should have known better than to begin
 because it always will end
 in the shed of blood and tears
 showing all your fears
 can't look anymore
 not really sure
 what to say or do
 just that i understand if you
 don't forgive me
 and i will leave you be
 i know its all mixed up
 like a alcohol in a cup
 but i will make you see
 how much you really mean to me...
