Out Of Eden - Shoulda' Listened lyrics

rate me

Ohhh... yeah

I should have stopped, looked and listened before I proceeded

But caution I threw to the wind

Many've been placed in my life to help lead me and guide me

But I didn't want to talk to them

So I ignored their advice and I tried to disguise pain from you and all the things you did

The wrong road was chosen my heart has been broken

Cause I didn't want to hear them

Shoulda' said what I didn't say

Shoulda' went right but I went left that day

Shoulda' prayed but instead I strayed

Shoulda' gone a different way

Shoulda' listened to my mother

When she said that you were no good for me

Shoulda' listened to my pastors

When they told me turn around and leave you be

Shoulda' listened to my sisters

When they said that I was too blind to see

But I see the light somehow

And I vow to listen now

I had the chance to advance and it seemed like the best

Opportunity that I could get

I didn't bother to see if my people agreed

Maybe I knew what they would say and yet

I didn't control it I kept going for it

When I shoulda' known it wasn't in God's plan

Had to let go, had I listened before

I would've said no from the door

Shoulda' said what I didn't say

Shoulda' went right but I went left that day

Shoulda' stayed but instead I strayed

Shoulda' gone a different way

Shoulda' listened to my mother

When she said that you were no good for me

Shoulda' listened to my pastors

When they told me turn around and leave you be

Shoulda' listened to my sisters

When they said that I was too blind to see

But I see the light somehow

And I vow to listen now

Shoulda' listened to my mother

When she said that you were no good for me

Shoulda' listened to my pastors

When they told me turn around and leave you be

Shoulda' listened to my sisters

When they said that I was too blind to see

But I see the light somehow

And I vow to listen now

Shoulda' listened I know I shoulda' listened

But I know that I vow to listen now

Shoulda' listened I know I shoulda' listened

But you don't have to tell me twice I'm going to listen now

Shoulda' listened if only I had listened

But I've learned my lesson now

I'm gonna listen now

Shoulda' listened cause I just can't be missing

All the things God has for me

Repeat till end
