lyrics
Why didn’t you tell me that it never works out
Why didn’t you tell me I’d have to scream and shout
I’d be drowning in sin
That you’d all do me in
And you didn’t tell me I’d have to buy my own car
That I’d never go far
I’d be out on my own
That I’d find myself homeless
That God never talks back
I’d have to pick up my own slack
But now I know you lied, You lied
Why didn’t you tell me that the girls were all whores
That the boys would be bullies
That I’d never get a break
That its take take take
And you didn’t tell me That my head would be reeling
I’d have to spite my own feelings
That my values would stray
I’d be your father someday
I know, you know, I know…You lied!
And I don’t know what time it was
I fell to my knees to kiss the floor
But I still recall the day it was
I realized you lied…You lied!
Why didn’t you tell me I’d have to scream and shout
I’d be drowning in sin
That you’d all do me in
And you didn’t tell me I’d have to buy my own car
That I’d never go far
I’d be out on my own
That I’d find myself homeless
That God never talks back
I’d have to pick up my own slack
But now I know you lied, You lied
Why didn’t you tell me that the girls were all whores
That the boys would be bullies
That I’d never get a break
That its take take take
And you didn’t tell me That my head would be reeling
I’d have to spite my own feelings
That my values would stray
I’d be your father someday
I know, you know, I know…You lied!
And I don’t know what time it was
I fell to my knees to kiss the floor
But I still recall the day it was
I realized you lied…You lied!
