Jean Shepard - Why Did You Wait lyrics

rate me

Why did you wait to prove to be untrue why did you change what's come over you

What made you stop a carin' for me why did you wait till we had a family

Why did you wait till a baby was born think of the shame look at the harm

Think of what you've done to your baby and me why did you wait till we had a family

[ steel ]

I'd rather be dead than to tell her the news

Your daddy's traded us for bright lights and booze

I can see her little face as she cries in misery

Why don't my daddy stay with my mommy and me

Why did you wait...
