I found her diary underneath a tree
and started reading about me
The words she's written took me by surpise
you'd never read them in her eyes
They said that she had found the love she waited for
Wouldn't you know it, she wouldn't show it

When 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 that I can find

I found her diary underneath a tree
and started reading about me
The words began stick and tears to flow.
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 that she can find
all the sweet things they can find
