創作背景
根據Country Weekly雜誌的採訪,Taylor在16歲時,發現她的男友欺騙了她,於是寫下這首歌。在採訪中,她透露,那個男孩的名字是Sam,不過她並沒有將這個名字像Drew、Cory之類的寫進歌里。
她也說,創作這首歌時,最先出現在她腦海里的就是這首歌的歌名那句“you should’ve said no”,副歌部分她只用了5分鐘就完成創作了。
而這首歌的很多歌詞,都是她當時面對男朋友時說過的話寫成的。Taylor說相比起Picture To Burn那首充滿憤怒,表現出“我們玩完了”的態度的歌,這首歌更加平和,類似於那種”我愛你,我們在一起真的很不錯,但是你毀了這一切,在面對誘惑時,你本應該拒絕的,而不是接受,不然的話我還是會一如既往地愛你的”。
Taylor說:作為一個人,我意識到在你面臨著一些你自己製造出來的麻煩之前,在你必須解決一些困境之前,其實總有些關鍵性的時刻,能讓你大聲說”不!”(讓你不必遇上那些麻煩事),這首歌寫是寫給一個不應該欺騙我,但最終卻騙了我的男孩。
歌曲歌詞
It's strange to think the songs we used to sing
The smiles, the flowers, everything: is gone
Yesterday I found out about you
Even now just looking at you: feels wrong
You say that you'd take it all back, given one chance
It was a moment of weakness and you said yes...
[Chorus:]
You should've said no, you should've gone home
You should've thought twice before you let it all go
You should've know that word, bout what you did with her
Would get back to me...
And I should've been there, in the back of your mind
I shouldn't be asking myself why
You shouldn't be begging for forgiveness at my feet...
You should've said no, baby and you might still have me
You can see that I've been crying
And baby you know all the right things: to say
But do you honestly expect me to believe
We could ever be the same...
You say that the past is the past, you need one chance
It was a moment of weakness and you said yes...
[Repeat Chorus]
I can't resist... before you go, tell me this
Was it worth it...
Was she worth this...
No... no no no...
[Repeat Chorus]
