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 [Verse 1] 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] 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 [Verse 2] 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 them say you were the last one to know Well buddy I was last 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 [Verse 3] 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 our reconciling to a drop dead halt [Chorus] Aren’t you sorry you asked me the reason 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 [Ending] 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 called [Fade out] 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 I’m sure sorry you ever asked why Aren’t you sorry you ever asked why
