Should’ve Said No
Female country artists from Tammy Wynette to Dolly Parton have become renowned for pouring their emotions into their music. When Taylor decided to end her relationship with Sam due to his infidelity, she certainly didn’t hold back! The lyrics of “Should’ve Said No” encapsulate lines like, “You claim you would undo it all / if given a chance / It was a lapse in judgment / and you gave in.”
The essence of the song’s title becomes evident through the line, “I shouldn’t be questioning ‘Why?’ I shouldn’t find you pleading for my forgiveness. You ought to have declined, darling, and perhaps you’d still be with me.”
