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
