Paul Mccartney - I Shoulda Known Better Lyrics

[Intro]
This is Eric Andersen up here again
I'm Phil, he's Don
Um, I'd like, I wanted to bring him up here to do one thing
Which is very much out of character with this whole program
What's that?
It's a song—
Since this is a songwriter's hoot
I'd like to do a song by the two most successful songwriters in the world
Paul McCartney and John Lennon
No rel—
Okay, no relation

[Verse 1]
So I should have known better with a girl like you
That I would love everything that you do
And I do, hey hey hey, and I do

[Verse 2]
So I never realized what a kiss could be
This could only happen to me
Can't you see, can't you see?

[Chorus]
That when I tell you that I love you, oh
You're gonna say you love me too, oh
And when I ask you to be mine
You're gonna say you love me too
[Verse 3]
So, I should have realized a lot of things before
If this is love you've gotta give me more
Give me more, hey hey hey, give me more

[Chorus]
And when I tell you that I love you, oh
You're gonna say you love me too, oh
And when I ask you to be mine
You're gonna say you love me too

[Verse 4]
So, I should have realized a lot of things before
If this is love you've gotta give me more
Give me more, hey hey hey, give me more

[Outro]
I wanted to do that, you know
For the main reason was that
To make a point that it's all not nonsense
That I think, you know, that
In all of music today, you know
What's going on in folk music
I think the Beatles are the most exciting thing
Really, musically going on
And that's what I'd like to make a point about writing topical songs
That I always try to do that
When I'm writing songs
Like the first song I did, the "That's What I Want to Hear"
Is a very pop-oriented melody
That's why we did it
To show you that pop-oriented songs aren't necessarily bad
That's pretty exciting music
