David Gates - Diary lyrics

I found her Diary underneath the tree

And started reading about me

The words she'd written took me by surprise

You never read them in her eyes

They said that she had found the love she've waited for

Wouldn't you know it

She wouldn't show it

Then she, confronted with her writing there

Simply pretended not to care

I passed it off as just in keeping with

Her total disconcerting air.

An though she tried to hide the love that she denied

Wouldn't you know it

She wouldn't show it

And as I go through my life

I will give to her my wife

All the sweet things I can find

I found her Diary underneath the tree

And started reading about me

The words begun to stick and tears to flow

Her meaning now is clear to see

The love she've waited for, was someone else not me

Wouldn't you know it

She wouldn't show it

And as I go through my life

I will wish for her his wife

All the sweet things she can find

All the sweet things they can find
