Why Now

I should have known by the way the sun was shining that day
I should have known by the long sad look on your face
Bitter times have turned into hurricane winds
A luscious cherry turned into sour grapes

I'm really gonna miss those smooth Saturdays
Lying here with you

Why now did you have to put me in my place?
Why now did you leave me lying flat down on my face?
Why now did the rain begin to fall?
Is that all
Is that all
I have now?

I should have known by the way you drove your car
I should have known by the way you picked up your old whiskey jar
I got a flat-broke deal when you told me what was on the table
I should have never believed those fables, those fables

I was told that you would be leaving the town
But before you walk out the door
I feel I gotta put my foot down

Why now did you have to put me in my place?
Why now did you have to leave me lying flat down on my face?
Why now did the rain begin to fall?
Is that all
Is that all
I have now?

Now I can begin to see clearly
What I just don't understand

Why now did you have to put me in my place?
Why now did you have to leave me lying flat down on my face?
Why now did the rain begin to fall?
Is that all
Is that all
That I have now?
Is that all
Is that all
That I have now?
