If You Don't, Don't

What's wrong, baby?

Don't they treat you like they should?

Did you take 'em for it?

For every penny that you could

We once walked out on the beach

And once I almost touched your hand

Oh, how I dreamed to finally say such things

Then, only to pretend

Don't you know I'm thinking (Know I'm thinking)

Driving Four Oh Five, past midnight

You know I miss you (Don't you know, that I miss you?)

Ninth and Ash, on a Tuesday night

I would write to you from Museum Mile

A toast to you, your whisper, your smile

Up the stairs at Weatherford, a ghost each place I hide

(If you don't, don't know, why'd you say so?)

Would you mean this please, if it happens?

(If you don't know, why would you say so?)

Won't you get your story straight?

(If you don't know, hunny, why'd you just say so?)

'Cause I need this now, more than I ever did

(If you don't know hunny, then you don't)

I left you waiting (I know, I left you waiting)

At the least, could we be friends?

Should have never started (Never started)

Ain't that the way it always ends

On my life I'll try today

There's so much I felt I should say

But even if you're heart would listen

I doubt I could explain

(If you don't, don't know, why'd you say so?)

Would you mean this, please, if it happens?

(If you don't know, why would you say so?)

Won't you get your story straight?

(If you don't know honey, why'd you just say so?)

'Cause I need this now, more than I ever did, did

(If you don't, well honey then you don't)

(If you don't, well honey then you don't)

So here we are now

A sip of wine, a sip of water

Someday, maybe

Maybe someday, we'll be smarter

And I'm sorry that I'm such a mess

I drank all my money could get

I took everything you let me have

And then I never loved you back

(If you don't, don't know, why'd you say so?)

Would you mean this, please, if it happens?

(If you don't know, why would you say so?)

Won't you get your story straight?

(If you don't know, hunny, why'd you just say so?)

'Cause I need this now, yeah, need this, need this

(If you don't, well hunny, then you don't)

(If you don't, don't, well hunny, then you don't)

(If you don't, well hunny, then you don't)

If you don't know, hunny, hunny, then you don't
