Was someone else not me
Wouldn't you know it?
Her total disconcerting air
The love that she denied
The love she'd waited for
And as I go through my life
Her meaning now was clear to see
Simply pretended not to care
Wouldn't you know it?
I passed it off as just in keeping with
I found her diary underneath a tree
I will wish for her his wife
The words began to stick and tears to flow
And started reading about me
The words she'd written took me by surprise
I will give to her my wife
When she confronted with the writing there
And though she tried to hide
She wouldn't show it
She wouldn't show it
She wouldn't show it
You'd never read them in her eyes
They said that she had found
And as I go through my life
All the sweet things, I can find
All the sweet things she can find
The love she'd waited for
Wouldn't you know it?
