"I Should Have Known Better" is a song by Jim Diamond, released in 1984 as the lead single from his debut solo album Double Crossed (1985). It was a UK number one single for one week in December 1984. [1] The song was displaced after one week by Frankie Goes to Hollywood's song " The Power of Love". Diamond publicly requested that people not buy his single, but instead buy the charity single " Do They Know It's Christmas?" by Band Aid. [2]
"I Should Have Known Better" was re-recorded for Diamond's 1993 solo album Jim Diamond. He recorded the song a third time for his 2005 single "Blue Shoes", which also featured a re-recording of " I Won't Let You Down" and covers of old soul songs such as " My Girl".
