Things I Should Have Said
The Grass Roots
(P.F. Sloan — Steve Barri)
I didn’t cry
I just stood and watched her say goodbye
She closed the do-or
And said «I don’t want to see you anymore»
Things I should have said to her
That maybe would have changed her mind to stay
Things I should have said to her
Like «girl, I love you so let love find a way»
Was it that she
Just couldn’t understand a man like me
Was I to blame
Did I leave too many things unexplained?
Things I should have said to her
That maybe would have changed her mind to stay
Things I should have said to her
Like «girl, I love you so let love find a way
Why didn’t I try telling her
She was all I had
Why didn’t I try telling her
Now she’s gone and I feel oh so bad
I didn’t cry
I just stood and watched her say goodbye
She closed the do-or
And said «I don’t want to see you anymore»
Things I should have said to her [repeat to fade]
