[Instrumental]
It hurts to remember but it was too fine to forget
There's no point to pretend that you're out of my 
system yet
I was swept away by your beauty and I was swept off in 
your arms
Then I was swept under your carpet like I was one of 
your old, lost little charms
How was I to know it would turn this way
How was I to know what they all would say
How was I to know there'd be hell to pay
How was I to know... aaah!
I don't want to be bitter and I don't want to get drunk
And I don't want to pace these floors all night you 
left me in such a bad funk
Nothing's ever felt better and nothing's ever hurt 
worse
I should send you flowers and poison but I can't decide 
which to send first
How was I to know it would turn this way
How was I to know what they all would say
How was I to know there'd be hell to pay
How was I to know... aaah!
[Instrumental]
I wish I could buy back my feelings
And I wish I could shut down my brain
'Cause I'm thinking some bad scary thoughts baby
And I can't stop calling your name
How was I to know it would turn this way
How was I to know what they all would say
How was I to know there'd be hell to pay
How was I to know...
How was I to know all the pain
How was I to know...
