Sorry You Asked Lyrics

Sorry You Asked

(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
