I sat there talkin' to myself
Why can't he turn it down
He keeps that TV up so loud
that I can't think
And every time I turn a page
he starts to talk about his day
Can't he see I'm tryin' to read
And it's cold enough
in here to freeze
He keeps it 68 degrees
What's that man
been thinkin' of
In all the years
we've been together
You'd think he'd
know me better
than he does
I sat there wonderin' to myself
Why he wears those
same old clothes
With any sense
he'd know they're out of style
And **** that man
Why can't he tell
I'm dyin' in this house
I ain't been out on the town
in quite awhile
And can't he tell
what mood I'm in
The way I've got
my back to him
I don't feel like makin' love
In all these years
we've been together
You'd think he'd
know me better
than he does
I sat there thinkin' to myself
Why's he been comin'
home so late
He knows his supper's
waitin' on the stove
And I sat there lyin' to myself
about the suitcase in the hall
And the night I heard him
call her on the phone
He said he'd been
thinkin' to himself
How I've treated him like ****
And I'd forgotten how to love
And right before
he drove away
Through his tears
he tried to say
I don't talk to him enough
In all the years
we've been together
You'd think he'd
know me better
than he does
In all the years
we've been together
Why don't he know me better
than he does
