Dr. Hook — The Things I Didnt Say

[Verse 1] I didn't say "don't do it babe" When she packed up to go I didn't say "come back here honey And try with me once more" Ooo [Pre-Chorus] And when she asked me if I loved her I just turned away She's gone And now I'm hearin' All the things I didn't say [Chorus] I didn't say "I'm sorry, babe "Cause half the fault was mine" I didn't say "we'll work it out 'Cause all we need is love and faith and time" [Post-Chorus] I said "If that's the way you want it I won't stand in your way" She's gone And now I'm hearing All the things I didn't say [Verse 2] I didn't take her in my arms And kiss away her tears I didn't say "my life don't mean a thing If you ain't here" [Pre-Chorus] I thought of all the many games I'd be free to play But all I do, is listen to The things I didn't say [Chorus] I didn't say "take off your coat I'll make some coffee and we'll talk" I didn't say "the road away Is such a long and lonely, endless walk" [Post-Chorus] I said "goodbye, good luck and God bless you" Then she slipped away And left me here To live with all The things I didn't say [Outro] And now I guess She'll never hear The things I didn't say
