Why Didn't I Think of That

Doug Stone

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 kickin' myself
Whenever I start thinkin' 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 and
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 ah I did her wrong
It's all so simple and fact
He says he wants her, can't live without her
Why didn't I think of that

Ooooooh I've been watchin'
Every move he makes
Ooooooh I've been thinkin'
It could&'ve been different somehow
If I'd known 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 else
Why didn't I think of that

Oooooooh I been watchin'
Every move that he makes
Oooooooh I been thinkin'
Oh it could've been different somehow
If I'd known what I know now

He sends her roses, and lines he composes
Things a lady loves
He's there to hold her when she needs a shoulder
If life gets too rough
Oh now that she's left I keep kickin' myself
Whenever I start thinkin' back
He says he needs her, 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
