I found her diary underneath the tree and started reading about me
The words she^?d written took me by surprise; you^?d never read them in
her eyes.
She said that she had found the love she^?d waited for
Wouldn^?t you know it? She wouldn^?t show it
Then she, confronted with the writing there, simply pretended not to
care
I passed it off as just in keeping with her total 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 the tree and started reading about me
The words began to stick, then tears to fall. Her meaning now was clear
to see
The love she^?d waited for was 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 she can find.
