I found her diary underneath a tree
And started reading all about me
The words she´s written took me by surprise
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

And when confronted with the writing there
She simply pretended not to care
I passed it off as just in keeping with
Her usual 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 I can find, ooh

I found her diary underneath a tree
And started reading all about me
The words began stick and tears did flow
Her meaning now was clear to see
The love she´d waited for was for 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 she can find
All the sweet things they can find
