Out Of Eden - Shoulda' Listened lyrics

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' 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 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 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
