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 did’nt I think of that



He says he loves her and he’ll never leave her

Why didn’t I think of that
