[Verse 1]

Them slept-in Sunday mornings

Empty pew from a night out late with Jack

She gave me lip, but she gave me grace

Yeah, she shouldn't have

Yeah, all of them half-ass sorrys

Every word she let me take right on back

We cleared the air, she cleaned the slate

Yeah, she shouldn't have

[Pre-Chorus]

And these dadgum boots on my feet

Look like they're turning on me

'Cause I'm kicking myself

For putting that girl through hell

[Chorus]

She shouldn't have to cry to her girlfriends

While the world ends, saying, "What just happened?"

She shouldn't have to buy all the red wine

Dry her brown eyes with a bartop napkin

She shouldn't have to wonder why

She wasted all of twenty-five

On a stupid guy that gave her that

That broken heart she shouldn't have

[Verse 2]

That neon night she walked in

Shot me a look, so I had to ask

To buy her a beer and she said yes

And she shouldn't have

How was she supposed to know

That boy with a Michelob microphone

Would turn into somebody she don't wanna know

That ain't the way it was supposed to go, no

[Chorus]

She shouldn't have to cry to her girlfriends

While the world ends, saying, "What just happened?"

She shouldn't have to buy all the red wine

Dry her brown eyes with a bartop napkin

She shouldn't have to wonder why

She wasted all of twenty-five

On a stupid guy that gave her that

That broken heart she shouldn't have

[Bridge]

(Oh)

She shouldn't have to live with the past

I only wish that I could just take it all back

(Yeah)

Everything that I put you through

I'd give anything if I could make it up to you

[Chorus]

She shouldn't have to cry to her girlfriends

While the world ends, saying, "What just happened?"

She shouldn't have to buy all the red wine

Dry her brown eyes with a bartop napkin

She shouldn't have to wonder why

She wasted all of twenty-five

On a stupid guy that gave her that

That broken heart she shouldn't have

[Outro]

Yeah, mm, she shouldn't have, mm

She shouldn't have to cry to her girlfriends

No, no
