Dwight Yoakam - Sorry You Asked lyrics

(Dwight Yoakam)

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 had 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:

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

I mighta, shoulda seen that we were drifting apart

But I was in what I guess you'd call denial

And I always heard them say that you're the last one to know

Well buddy I was last by a long, long while

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

Okay we both have a 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

That helped bring out reconciling to a drop-dead halt

Chorus:

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 that she tried to have me locked out of the house

I had to go hire a lawyer and all

But I know that was mostly her family's idea

I could her them tell her what to say every time I called
