Lyrics

Doesn't look like she wears the street
She's got no scars in her eyes
When she talked to you in this style
She's got some too high
Did she busted you in the gut that time?
That time I said "I know it's true"
Why didn't I ask? Why didn't I ask?
Why didn't I ask? Why didn't I?
I can't believe she's married to Roe
I would have turned down the light
And she really likes you a lot
This time I guess it makes it alright
I wanted to stay there
But you know I needed you more than that
Why didn't I ask? Why didn't I ask?
Why didn't I ask? Why didn't I?
Why didn't I ask? Why didn't I ask?
Why didn't I ask? Why didn't I ask?
Why didn't I ask? Why didn't I ask?
Why didn't I ask? Why didn't I?
