Sorry You Asked? Lyrics

Chorus:
You'll be sorry you asked me the reason
That she's not here with me tonight
And I know you were probably just acting polite
But you'll be sorry you ever asked why

We started having problems in August last year
So things had been kinda rough for quite awhile
And you know how you think it'll kinda work itself out
Well, mister that thought's wrong by a long, long mile

Chorus:
You'll be sorry you asked me the reason
That she's not here with me tonight
And I know you were probably just acting polite
But, you'll be sorry you ever asked why

I mighta, shoulda seen that we were drifting apart
But I was in what I guess you'd call denial
And I always heard them say that you're the last one to know
Well buddy I was last for a long, long while

Chorus:
You'll be sorry you asked me the reason
That she's not here with me tonight
And I know you were probably just acting polite
But you'll be sorry you ever asked why

Okay we both have a tendancy to overreact
So I can't really tell you who's at fault
There was certain third parties, well her sister for one
That help bring our reconciling to a drop dead halt

Chorus:
Now aren't you sorry you asked me the reason
Why she's not here with me tonight
And I know you were probably just acting polite
But I'm sure sorry you ever asked why
Aren't you sorry you ever asked why
I'm sure sorry you ever asked why

Did I tell you how she tried to have me locked out of the house
I had to go hire a lawyer and all
But I know that was mostly her family's idea
I could hear them tell her what to say every time I called

Cover art for Sorry You Asked? lyrics by Dwight Yoakam

I think the meaning of this song is all on the surface, but it sure it catchy. He's just basically telling somebody who asked where his girlfriend was exactly what happened, in detail. I think everybody's either done this or had a friend do the exact same thing to them. It's just a fantastic break-up song.
