"Did Ya" is a song by the British rock band The Kinks, appearing on the EP of the same name, as well as some editions of Phobia.
"Did Ya" first saw release in 1991, in numerous different formats (all of which were the first that The Kinks released on Columbia Records.) In America, the song was the title track of a five song EP. This five track EP was instead made into a CD maxi-single in Europe. Instead of this five song lineup, however, the song was released as a single in the Netherlands, backed with a rerecording of The Kinks' 1968 hit, "Days". The song, however, was unsuccessful. It has also appeared on the Japanese, British, and European versions of Phobia, released in 1993.
The song also appeared on the compilation album Waterloo Sunset: The Best of The Kinks and Ray Davies.
Guess you lose and it's too late to try to come back
What part of no don't you understand? Too bad
There you go down with yesterday's news in the trash can
I got no time to be looking back, I'm past that
And now you wanna change, it's too little too late
You shoulda loved me right when you had me
(Shoulda shoulda but you didn't did ya?)
You shoulda known I'm not gonna sit around
And wait for you to get your act together
Shoulda known better
Don't say you wanna, don't say you were gonna
You shoulda loved me right but you didn't, did ya?
Gotta a new place, a hot ride, this Gucci handbag
To match my kicks and my brand new plan, hey now
Why the look of confusion? Oh sorry, my bad
Forgot to mention my brand new man, take that
Say you wanna change, it's too little too late
You shoulda loved me right when you had me
(Shoulda shoulda but you didn't did ya?)
You shoulda known I'm not gonna sit around
And wait for you to get your act together
Shoulda known better
Don't say you wanna, don't say you were gonna
You shoulda loved me right but you didn't, did ya?
Take a good look 'cause it's the last you'll see of me
(Take a good look, take a good look, baby)
Memorize this, all you have are memories
(Memorize this, 'cause it's all you get to keep)
No words, no rings, not a damn thing
Is gonna bring me back to you
I'm so over you
You shoulda loved me right when you had me
(Shoulda shoulda but you didn't did ya?)
You shoulda known I'm not gonna sit around
And wait for you to get your act together
Shoulda known better
Don't say you wanna, don't say you were gonna
