I Should Have Married You

We were walkin' down the boardwalk

Watchin' stars out on the ocean

We were drunk on margaritas

And that might've been my moment

But we stood there in silence and watched the waves crash

Vacation with your family

After midnight in the kitchen

I was hangin' with your dad

I could've asked him, but I didn't

I don't know why, I guess I thought I had more time

If I hadn't been so young and stupid

Yeah, I let somebody beat me to it

Don't know what you got until you lose it

Guess I blew it, baby, I should've married you

That's just the way it goes

I should've seen it through

I should've let you know

I should've said, "I do"

Back when I still had the chance, yeah

I should've married you

Maybe I thought I needed freedom

Maybe it's all about the timin'

Maybe I wouldn't let my ego

Let somebody tie me down

Oh, but I can't blame you for not waitin' around

If I hadn't been so young and stupid

(I wish I would've known, wish I would've known)

Yeah, I let somebody beat me to it (whoa, yeah)

Don't know what you got until you lose it

Guess I blew it, baby, I should've married you

That's just the way it goes (way it goes)

I should've seen it through (seen it through)

I should've let you know (let you know)

I should've said, "I do" (said, "I do")

Back when I still had the chance, yeah

I should've married you

Whoa, oh, oh-oh

Whoa, oh, oh-oh

If I hadn't been so young and stupid

(I wish I would've known, wish I would've known)

Yeah, I let somebody beat me to it (whoa, yeah)

Don't know what you got until you lose it

Guess I blew it, baby, I should've married you

That's just the way it goes (way it goes)

I should've seen it through (seen it through)

I should've let you know (let you know)

I should've said, "I do" (said, "I do")

Back when I still had the chance, yeah

I should've married you

Back when I still had the chance, yeah

I should've married you
