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