Sorry You Asked? Lyrics

Sorry You Asked - Dwight Yoakam
submitted by gunslinger
You'll be sorry you asked me the reason
That she's not here with me tonight
And I know you were prob'ly just actin' polite
But you'll be sorry you ever asked why
We started having problems in August last year
So things had been rough for quite awhile
And you know how you think it'll work itself out
Yeah well mister that thought's wrong by a long long mile
I mighta shoulda seen we were driftin' apart
But I was in what I guess you'd call denial
And I'd always heard 'em say you're the last one to know
Hey well buddy I was last by a long long while
You'll be sorry you asked me the reason
That she's not here with me tonight
And I know you were prob'ly just actin' polite
But you'll be sorry you ever asked why
Okay we both have a tendency to over react
So I can't really tell you who's at fault
There were certain third parties well her sister for one
Who helped bring our reconciling to a drop dead halt
Aren't you sorry...
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
Had to go hire a lawyer and all
But I know that was mostly her family's idea
I could hear 'em tell her what to say every time I'd call
You'll be sorry...
