More Than I Should
[Intro]
Ooh, yeah

[Verse 1]
Wasted time and money
Honey, treatin' you like a queen
I might as well have just thrown matches at a tank of gasoline
Well, it all went up in a ball of flames
Yeah, girl, you torched me good
Yeah, I got burned and learned that I loved you more than I should

[Chorus]
'Cause my heart said a long time ago
"Buddy, tuck your tail and run"
'Cause it ain't love
When you're stuck on the wrong end of the gun
Well, you put your finger on that trigger
And you shot me where I stood
I found out the hard way
I loved you more than I should
Oh, yeah

[Verse 2]
Well, curse the man who made the sweet perfume that cast the spell
And curse the night that made us kiss beneath the star that fell
And curse the man before me
Didn't warn me when he could
And curse me most of all for loving you more than I should
[Chorus]
'Cause my heart said a long time ago
"Buddy, tuck your tail and run"
'Cause it ain't love
When you're stuck on the wrong end of the gun
Well, you put your finger on that trigger
And you shot me where I stood
I found out the hard way
I loved you more than I should
Oh, yeah
Ooh, more than I should, yeah

[Verse 3]
Last night I found myself inside the strangest, sweetest dream
You were standing' arms wide open right in front of me
The closer I moved towards you, the further away you stood
I woke up and I whispered, "I loved you more than I should"
Well, they'll write on my gravestone
"I loved you more than I should"

[Outro]
More than I should, yeah
Ooh
Yeah
