I wish you'd never blown out the candle

I wish you'd never turned out the light

It didn't help me see

It didn't help me fight

And it put a waking sleep in my night

Sleep in my night

Why'd you ever come here from Dallas

Memphis couldn't offer a thing that you don't

Already have and you can't even sing

And you weren't looking for a husband

And you wouldn't choose me if I was one and the

Whole world knows it.

I know that you know it too

Chorus

Why don't you ever listen to the words?

Why don't you ever listen to the words?

It's the stuff in the middle I know you've

never heard



I'm not interested in specifics

I don't want to push too fast

I'm only concerned with happiness

and that's not too much to ask

I wish you'd....





I wish you'd never covered my threshold

I wish you'd never stood in my door it didn't help

me much and it hurt me more

And you could've let me know before

Well the whole world knew it

You must have has some idea



Why don't you ever listen to the words?
