Some say that I should have known
Some say, "Girlfriend, he didn't care"
I guess I should have seen the warning sign
Instead of put my heart on the line

No, I cannot deny
Been warned a thousand times
I should have know your kind
How could I've been so blind?

Beware of a broken heart, baby
I guess I should have read the writing on the wall
It said, "Girlfriend, he'll tear your heart apart"
I guess I should have read the writing on the wall

Something told me not to get involved
Stop before this man goes to far
'Cuz he know how quickly you can fall
When you put your trust in your heart

Oh, I should have played it cool
Played it by the rules
You played me for a fool
How could you be so cruel?

Beware (beware) of a broken heart, baby (yeah)
I guess I should have read the writing on the wall
It said, "Girlfriend, he'll tear your heart apart"
I guess I should have read the writing on the wall

A broken heart can mend
But a fool never learns when they always return to love
Oh, why can I pretend
When I don't hurt inside 'cuz now I realize

Ohhh ooh
Ooh, why'd you have to hurt me?
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-ohhh, baby, ooh
Oh, why'd you go and treat me this way?

Beware (beware) of a broken heart (of a broken heart), baby
I guess I should have read the writing on the wall
It said, "Girlfriend, he'll tear your heart apart"
I guess I should have read the writing on the wall

Beware (beware, baby) of a broken heart, baby
Ooh, I guess I should have read the writing on the wall
(The writing on the wall)
"Girlfriend, he'll tear your heart apart"
I guess I should have read the writing on the wall

Mmm mmm
Stop before he goes too far
Mm, mmm, mmm
