Aimee Mann was born in Richmond, Virginia, and attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston, but dropped out to sing with her first punk rock band, the young snakes; the band released the EP Bark Along with the Young Snakes in 1982, and a compilation album was issued in 2004. In 1983, seeking a return to "sweetness and melody", she co-founded with Berklee classmate and boyfriend Michael Hausman the new wave band 'Til Tuesday, which achieved minor success in 1985 with its first album, Voices Carry. The title song is said to be inspired by Hausman and Mann's breakup; the video became an MTV staple, winning the MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist, though Mann's signature spiky hair would lead some to dismiss the group. Mann performed with the rock band Rush on the song "Time Stand Still" (from Hold Your Fire, 1987), singing backup vocals and appearing in the music video. With Mann playing an increasingly important role in songwriting, 'Til Tuesday released two more albums, Welcome Home and Everything's Different Now.

I Should’ve Known Lyrics
Aimee Mann
I should thank you almost
No one could kill it off until you bled it
But I got rid of that ghost
though certain habits remain imbedded
With the shadow of a doubt
But baby it was you who fed it
And I dont know what else to say
But I think you get it.
I shouldve known
It was coming down to this
I shouldve known
You would betray me but without the kiss
I shouldve known
The kind of set-up it is.
And always isnt always
When its not your photograph that Ive been keeping
But you still live in those days
When Id stay awake just to watch you sleeping
You delivered that blow
But it left a mark on me that youre not seeing
And I dont know what else you hear
But its not me weeping
I shouldve known
It was coming down to this
I shouldve known
You would betray me but without the kiss
I shouldve known
The kind of set-up it is.
I shouldve seen the cracks in the ceiling
And the mirror covered up with dust
But I was busy talking on the phone
I shouldve seen the obstacles but I said,
This house was built for us
Hello
Is anybody home?
I shouldve known
The minute that we hit the wall
I shouldve known
The writing was upon the stall
I shouldve known
cause rome was starting to fall
And I should thank you, almost.
