Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show The Things I
Didn't say Lyrics:
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, 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.

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."
I said, "If that's the way you want it,
I won't stand in your way."
She's gone and now I'm hearin',
All the things I didn't say.

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."

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.

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."
I said, "Goodbye, good luck and God bless you."
Then she slipped away.
And left me here to live with,
All he things I didn't say.

And now I guess she'll never hear the things I didn't say.
