I hear your new love sends you pretty something different each day
And he never forget to call you whenever he's away
He sends you flowers and candy tied in ribbons of blue
Why didn't I think of that before I lost you
He takes you dancing out with the crowd
And when you walk beside him he looks so proud
He does thoughtful little things that I didn't do
Why didn't I think of that before I lost you
But I was so concerned with other things I couldn't see
How lonely you were for the love you never got from me
I should have told you every day I was thankful for you
Why didn't I think of that before I lost you
Why didn't I think of that before I lost you
