Never Should Have Lyrics

You were, all that I wanted
I fell in love with, all of your heart and your soul
From that moment, couldn't imagine
You ever hurting me, or mistreating my love

I should have known

These rivers of tear drops
These sharp pains in my heart
If this was the way that you loved
You Never Should Have loved me

You never should have loved me
You never should have touched me
You never should have, never should have
Told me you loved me and you would never leave me

‘cause everything that you would do
To make me fall in love with you
Until you left and you made that mistake
Now I can't take it back if I wanted to (wanted to)

Balled up, laying in my bed
Thoughts racing through my head
How did we start out in love and end up here?

You said you loved me, and I believed you
Seems like you don't even mean what you say
These rivers of tear drops
These sharp pains in my heart
If this was the way that you loved
You never should have loved me

You never should have loved me
You never should have touched me
You never should have, never should have
Told me you loved me and you would never leave me

You were all that I wanted, I fell in love with
You ‘cause you loved me and I thought that you were ready
I thought that we were gonna be a family
And if you weren't then you should’ve let me
Keep all of my love to give, to someone worthy

Never Should Have

This song finds Ashanti singing of a former lover she now regrets. Her lyrics settle over producer Mansur's marching band-driven soundscape:

"You never should have loved me
You never should have touched me
You never should have
Never should have told me you loved me and you would never leave me."

Ashanti dated Nelly for five years before the pair eventually split up, and many people believe this song is about their broken romance. When asked if the song was motivated by her relationship with the St. Louis rapper, Ashanti hinted that the lyrics are directed at him without actually confirming it. "I'll just say it's a very real record that's inspired by a real experience and it came from a real place," she told The Drop.FM . "A lot of people have been in a situation where they've been betrayed or lied to or taken advantage of. Everyone has been through betrayal. It speaks volumes. It is a universal message. Everyone has been in a situation where they felt betrayed and wish you had not been put in that situation. You can feel it. This record strikes a chord. I felt it was important to be vulnerable and show I am human and that I have feelings."

The song featured in the finale of the seventh series of the Lifetime TV series Army Wives, in which Ashanti co-starred.
