Sorry You Asked? - Dwight Yoakam

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

You’ll be sorry you ever asked why

We started having problems in August last year

Some things have been kind of rough for quite a while

And you know how you think it’ll work itself out

Yeah but mister that thoughts wrong by a long long mile

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

You’ll be sorry you ever asked why

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 you were the last one to know

Hey well buddy I was last by a long long while

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

Ok we both have a tendency to over-react

So I can’t really tell you who’s at fault

There was certain third parties

Well her sister for one

Helped bring our reconciling to a drop dead halt

Aren’t you sorry you asked me the reason

Why 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

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’d call

(fade out)

You’ll you 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
