Should've Kissed You

Chris Brown · F.A.M.E. (Deluxe Edition) [2011]

Why Am I Mad , I don't get it,

It seems like every time you give me signs,

And I miss it.

I did it again,

I admit it,

I left you standing there,

And now I regret it,

Seems like every time,

I get the chance,

I lose my cool, and I blow it,

And I get all tongue tied,

Lost in your eyes,

I'm a fool, and I know it.



[Chorus:]

I should've kissed you,

I should've told you,

Told you just how I feel,

And next time I won't stop,

I'll listen to my heart,

Cause what I feel is real.

I should've kissed you,

I should've told you how I feel,

I should've kissed you,

I should've showed you how I feel,



No I did not,

Give you my two cents,

A million reasons why I should have,

And it makes no sense,

So here I am,

By myself again,

Stopping for green lights, and Now I know,

I wanna be more than friends,

How come every time I get the chance

I lose my cool and I blow it?

And I get all tongue tied,

Lost in your eyes,

I'm a fool and I know it!!

Hey,



[Chorus:]

I should've kissed you,

I should've told you,

Told you just how I feel,

And next time I won't stop,

I'll listen to my heart,

Cause what I feel is real!

I should've kissed you,

I should've told you how I feel,

I should've kissed you,

I should've showed you how I feel!



So I turned the car around,

And you were right where I left you,

And your smile said you were feeling me too,

And the moon shined bright,

Cause when your lips met mine,

And yeah I finally got it right,

I'll be leaving with you tonight,

And I won't have to say,



[Chorus:]

I should've kissed you,

I should've told you,

Told you just how I feel,

And next time I won't stop,

I'll listen to my heart,

Cause what I feel is real!

I should've kissed you,

I should've told you how I feel,

I should've kissed you,

I should've showed you how I feel!



Girl I should've kissed you,

I should've told you told you just how I feel,

And this time I won't stop,

Until I have your heart,

Because this feeling is real.
