Why Didn’t I Think of That

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 kicking myself whenever I start thinking 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 her 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 what I did wrong
It's all so simple in fact
Well he says he wants her, can't live without her
Why didn't I think of that?

Oh, I've been watching every move that he makes
Ooh, I've been thinking, it could have been different somehow
If I'd known what I know now

He sings her love songs and tells her his love's strong
think she needs to know
He tries to please her, he 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?

Oh, I've been watching every move that he makes
Ooh, I've been thinking, it could have been different somehow
If I'd know 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 kicking myself
Whenever I start thinking 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?
