Chorus:

You'll be sorry you asked
me the reason
That she's not here with
me tonight
And I know you were
probably just acting polite
But you'll be sorry you
ever asked why

We started having
problems in August last year
So things have been kinda
rough for quite awhile
And you know how you
think it'll work itself out
Well mister that thought's
wrong by a long, long mile

Chorus

I mighta, shoulda seen
that we were drifting apart
But I was in what I guess
you'd call denial
And I always heard they
say that you're the last
one to know
Well buddy I was last by
a long, long while

Chorus

Okay we both have the
tendency to overreact
So I can't really tell
you who's at fault
But there were certain
third parties, well her
sister for one
Who helped bring our
reconciling to a drop-dead halt

Now aren't you sorry you
asked me the reason
That she's not here with
me tonight
And I know you were
probably just acting polite
But I'm sure sorry you
ever asked why
Aren't you sorry you
ever asked why
I'm sure sorry you
ever asked why

Did I tell you how she
tried to have me locked
out of the house
I had to go hire a
lawyer and all
But I know that it was
mostly her family's idea
I could hear 'em tell her what
to say every time I'd call
