Jean Shepard Why Did You Wait Lyrics

Why Did You Wait Lyrics

Why did you wait to prove to be untrue why did you change what's come over
you

What made you stop a carin' for me why did you wait till we had a family

Why did you wait till a baby was born think of the shame look at the harm

Think of what you've done to your baby and me why did you wait till we had a
family

[ steel ]

I'd rather be dead than to tell her the news

Your daddy's traded us for bright lights and booze

I can see her little face as she cries in misery

Why don't my daddy stay with my mommy and me

Why did you wait...
