He had a gun
He took it out and pulled the trigger
And it sung
And just like that a man was dead
He should have known
But he was always so demanding
He should have known
The one who holds the match ends up alone
He had a wife
He took her out from time to time
There was no spice
And so she ran and danced the devils tango...
Twice
The sting of a backhand
He should have known
The one who ain't got time ends up alone
He should have known (He should have known)
He was arrogant and cocky
He should have known (He should have known)
He's bored out of his brain
He should have known
The one who lights the fire
Burns the home
He took hold of the match
He should have known
A fine career
Oh was a sure delight
He had right here
Forget 'bout all the scandals
He had a gun
He was above the law
He had some fun
But then the party ended
He should have known
He should have known (He should have known)
He was arrogant and cocky
He should have known (He should have known)
He's bored out of his brain
He should have known
The one who lights the fire
Burns the home
He took hold of the match
He should have known
He should have known (He should have known)
He was arrogant and cocky
He should have known (He should have known)
He's bored out of his brains
He should have known
The one who lights the fire
Burns the home
He took hold of the match
He should have known
