I didn't ask to go with you to Mexico
I really didn't need the shopping spree
In L.A. or Melrose, boy if you didn't know it, well, now you know,
I didn't need the furs or the jewelry
Because material things they don't mean much to me
And ever since you've been gone
I have been holding us down on my own
[Pre-chorus:]
I never ever cheated
I never ever lied
So you can stop asking, asking me why
Why I never left you, and why I kept it real
And why I'm still with you
[Chorus:]
You should've known better than to think I would leave
You should've known better than to doubt me
It don't matter if you're up, matter if you're down
Either way I'm gonna be around
You should've known that I would stay by your side
You should've known your girl was gonna ride or die
And it just don't matter if ya rich or poor
Out or in doing 5 to10
You should've known better
What makes you think that I would forget about you
Think about it who comes to see ya
Every Saturday and Monday I was on that receiver
It's me your girl your life your world
My family and friends they just don't understand
They say I should leave you lone
But I say that they all should just leave us 'lone
Don't u get it
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus x2]I didn't ask to go with you to Mexico
I really didn't need the shopping spree
In L.A. or Melrose, boy if you didn't know it, well, now you know,
I didn't need the furs or the jewelry
Because material things they don't mean much to me
And ever since you've been gone
I have been holding us down on my own
[Pre-chorus:]
I never ever cheated
I never ever lied
So you can stop asking, asking me why
Why I never left you, and why I kept it real
And why I'm still with you
[Chorus:]
You should've known better than to think I would leave
You should've known better than to doubt me
It don't matter if you're up, matter if you're down
Either way I'm gonna be around
You should've known that I would stay by your side
You should've known your girl was gonna ride or die
And it just don't matter if ya rich or poor
