Ooh, Why didn't I think of that
It was in the back of my mind
But, I ignored it
Why didn't I think of that
I through my chance to make you mine
Now I'm paying for it

Why is the flame hard to get
Somebody knew that you met
Took a shortcut and beat me to your heart
Shower you with affection
I should have shown you from the start

Oh Why (Why) didn't I think of that
(Didn't I think of that)
It was in the back of my mind
(But I ignored it)
Why didn't I think of that
(Didn't I think of that)
I blew my chance to make you mine
(Now I'm paying for it)

While I've been making up my mind
She laid our love on the line
Told you our love was a thing I left unsaid
Like a fool missed a boat
I stand here shakin' my head
Wonders why (Why) didn't I think of that
(Didn't I think of that)
It was in the back of my mind
(But I ignored it)
Why didn't I think of that
(Didn't I think of that)
I blew my chance to make you mine
(Now I'm paying for it)

Stop, Did we start all over?
Oh No! Don't say it's too late baby

Why (Why) didn't I think of that
(Didn't I think of that)
It was in the back of my mind
(But I ignored it)
Why didn't I think of that (Why........... )
Tell me why didn't I think of that (Why............)
Tell me why didn't I think of that (Why............)
Somebody tell me why didn't I think of that (Why............)
Tell me why didn't I think of that (Why............)
Somebody tell me why didn't I think
(Why............ Didn't I think of that)
Tell me Why............ Didn't I
