Them slept-in Sunday mornings Empty pew from a night out late with Jack She gave me lip, but she gave me grace Yeah, she shouldn't have Yeah, all of them half-ass sorrys Every word she let me take right on back We cleared the air, she cleaned the slate Yeah, she shouldn't have And these dadgum boots on my feet Look like they're turning on me 'Cause I'm kicking myself For putting that girl through hell She shouldn't have to cry to her girlfriends While the world ends, saying: What just happened? She shouldn't have to buy all the red wine Dry her brown eyes with a bartop napkin She shouldn't have to wonder why She wasted all of twenty-five On a stupid guy that gave her that That broken heart she shouldn't have That neon night she walked in Shot me a look, so I had to ask To buy her a beer and she said yes And she shouldn't have How was she supposed to know That boy with a Michelob microphone Would turn into somebody she don't wanna know That ain't the way it was supposed to go, no She shouldn't have to cry to her girlfriends While the world ends, saying: What just happened? She shouldn't have to buy all the red wine Dry her brown eyes with a bartop napkin She shouldn't have to wonder why She wasted all of twenty-five On a stupid guy that gave her that That broken heart she shouldn't have (Oh) She shouldn't have to live with the past I only wish that I could just take it all back (Yeah) Everything that I put you through I'd give anything if I could make it up to you She shouldn't have to cry to her girlfriends While the world ends, saying: What just happened? She shouldn't have to buy all the red wine Dry her brown eyes with a bartop napkin She shouldn't have to wonder why She wasted all of twenty-five On a stupid guy that gave her that That broken heart she shouldn't have Yeah, mm, she shouldn't have, mm She shouldn't have to cry to her girlfriends No, no
