(dwight yoakam)
Chorus:
Youll be sorry you asked me the reason
That shes not here with me tonight
And I know you were probably just acting polite
But youll 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 itll work itself out
Well, mister that thoughts wrong by a long, long mile
Chorus:
Youll be sorry you asked me the reason
That shes not here with me tonight
And I know you were probably just acting polite
But youll be sorry you ever asked why
I mighta, shoulda seen that we were drifting apart
But I was in what I guess youd call denial
And I always heard them say that youre the last one to know
Well buddy I was last by a long, long while
Chorus:
Youll be sorry you asked me the reason
That shes not here with me tonight
And I know you were probably just acting polite
But youll be sorry you ever asked why
Okay we both have a tendency to overreact
So I cant really tell you whos 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 arent you sorry you asked me the reason
That shes not here with me tonight
And I know you were probably just acting polite
But Im sure sorry you ever asked why
Arent you sorry you ever asked why
Im 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 familys idea
I could her them tell her what to say every time I called
