She was sitting in a cafe Drinking coffee by herself So I asked if I could join her She said mister help yourself I could tell her heart was breaking So I thought I'd lend a hand I said honey what's the matter She said you wouldn't understand I said honey I could tell you Things to make you cry Lord knows I've been there myself Cause I wish I would have told her Just how much I loved her But I didn't know how And that was just three weeks ago from now I said sometimes men are foolish So we do some foolish things We're so scared of our emotions That we hide em all in shame Maybe he'll call you up tomorrow And be the man he needs to be He'll apologize and take you by the hand He'd be much better than me Cause I said honey I could tell you Things to make you cry Lord knows I've been there myself Cause I wish I would have told her Just how much I loved her But I didn't know how And that was just three weeks ago from now That was just three weeks ago from now
