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.

Over Lyrics

[Chorus]
Can't believe that it's Over baby
But every bruse on my heart you gave me
See we tried but we fight then we cried now it's over babe, it's over babe.

When I met you I knew you would be the one,
'Cause looking at you made me feel kind of crazy,
Now what you asked I almost did it automatically
But it was nothing compared to the joy you gave me.

Although I know that what we had it wasn't perfect babe,
You fooled around, but see back then it didn't phase me
I thought by staying, trying to change you would be worth it babe,
But now I see that trying to change you only changed me.
All these tears,and all of your lies
All these years and now we're saying goodbye, it's over babe.

[Chorus: x2]

Now I'm thinking that I never should have dealt with you,
All this screaming and this yelling
That we go through raining late at night I'm sitting waiting up for you
Just to tell you how I hate who you turned into,
See ain't no way I'm gonna sit and take this shit from you,
I'm never playing another day of being your fool,
I wasted all my time on something that just wasn't true,
I should have known I could never ever change you.
All these tears, and all of your lies,
All these years and now we're saying goodbye it's over babe.

[Chorus: x2]

I'll never forget what you did to me so I'm gone I'm leaving leaving baby,
I'll never forget
What you did to me so I'm gone I'm leaving leaving baby.
Whenever you see me don't even speak,
I'll never forget what you did to me.
Whenever you see me don't even speak, I'll never forget what you did to me.

[Chorus: x4]

I'll never forget what you did to me so I'm gone I'm leaving, leaving baby.
I'll never forget
What you did to me so I'm gone I'm leaving, leaving baby.

When she's mad at her boyfriend, Ashanti claims to roll down her car windows and blast this song.

She says the recording session for this entire album was very emotional, because everyone involved in the record, not just her, was going through relationship problems. That emotion makes this song very personal for her.

As of the release of this song, she has been through two serious romantic relationships. Both are now over.
