why didn't i think of that

he sends her roses and lines he composes

things a lady loves

well he's there to hold her

when she needs a shoulder

if life gets too rough

oh now that she's left

i keep kicking myself whenever

i start thinking back

he says he needs her

tells her he loves her

why didn't i think of that?

when she gets down

well he's always around her

he makes her smile again

he mends her heartaches

remembers her birthday

and tries to be a friend

now that she's gone

i know what i did wrong

it's all so simple in fact

well he says he wants her

can't live without her

why didn't i think of that?

ooh i've been watching

every move that he makes

ooh i've been thinking

it could have been different somehow

if i'd know what i know now

he sings her love songs

and tells her his love's strong

things she needs to know

he tries to please her

and calls for no reason

just to say hello

he says he loves her

and he'll never leave her

and i never will get her back

i did my best

thought of everything eels

why didn't i think of that?

ooh i've been watching

every move that he makes

ooh i've been thinking

it could have been different somehow

if i'd know what i know now

he sends her roses

and lines he compses

things a lady loves

well he's there to hold her

when she needs a shoulder

if life gets too rough

oh now that she's left

i keep kicking myself whenever

tells her he loves her

why didn't i think of that?

he says he loves her

and he'll never leave her

why didn't i think of that?
