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
You'll be sorry you ever asked why.

We started having problems in August last year
Some things have been kind of rough for quite a while
And you know how you think it'll work itself out
Yeah but mister that thoughts wrong by a long long mile

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
You'll be sorry you ever asked why.

I might should have seen we were drifting apart
But I was in what I guess you'd call denial
And I had always heard you were 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 probably just acting polite
But you'll be sorry you ever asked why.

Ok we both have a tendency to over-react
So I can't really tell you who's at fault
There was certain third parties
Well her sister for one
Helped bring our reconciling to a drop dead halt

Aren't you sorry you asked me the reason
Why 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
Had to go hire a lawyer and all
But I know that was mostly her family's idea
I could hear them tell her what to say every time I'd call

(fade out)
You'll 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
