I found her diary underneath the tree and started reading about me
                                  
The words she^?d written took me by surprise; you^?d never read them in
her eyes.
Edim7                                          
She said that she had found the love she^?d waited for
                                
Wouldn^?t you know it? She wouldn^?t show it

                                         
Then she, confronted with the writing there, simply pretended not to
care
                                    
I passed it off as just in keeping with her total disconcerting air.
Edim7                                         
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.

                                   
I found her diary underneath the tree  and started reading about me
                                          
The words began to stick, then tears to fall. Her meaning now was clear
to see
Edim7                                        
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 she can find
                             
    All the sweet things she can find.
