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