Sorry You Asked lyrics by Dwight Yoakam
SORRY YOU EVER ASKED WHYCHORUS
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
SO THINGS HAVE BEEN KINDA ROUGH FOR QUITE A WHILE
AND YOU KNOW HOW YOU THINK IT'LL WORK ITSELF OUT
YEAH WELL MISTER THAT THOUGHT'S A WRONG BY A LONG LONG MILE
CHORUS
I MIGHT HAVE SHOULD HAVE SEEN WE WERE DRIFTING APART
BUT I WAS IN WHAT I GUESS YOU'D CALL DENIAL
AN' I'D ALWAYS HEARD IT SAID YOU'RE THE LAST ONE TO KNOW
YEAH WELL BUDDY I WAS LAST BY A LONG LONG WHILE
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
CHORUS
OKAY WE BOTH HAVE A TENDENCY TO OVERREACT
SO I CAN'T REALLY TELL YOU WHO'S AT FAULT
THERE WERE CERTAIN THIRD PARTIES WELL HER SISTER FOR ONE
HELPED BRING OUR RECONCILING TO A DROP DEAD HALT
FINAL CHORUS:
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
REPEAT LAST LINE TWICE
