Intro
Verse
I’m not saying it was your fault
Although you could have done more
Oh you’re so naive yet so
How could this be done
Your such a smiling sweetheart
Oh and your sweet and pretty face
In such an ugly word
For something so beautiful
That everytime I look inside
Chorus
I know that she knows that I’m not fond of asking
True or false it may be, she’s still out to get me
I know that she knows that I’m not fond of asking
True or false it may be, she’s still out to get me
Verse 2
I may say it was your fault
Because i know you could have done more
Oh you’re so naive yet so
How could this be done
By such a smiling sweetheart
Oh and your sweet and pretty face
In such an ugly word
For something so beautiful
That everytime I look inside
Chorus
I know that she knows that I’m not fond of asking
True or false it may be, she’s still out to get me
I know that she knows that I’m not fond of asking
True or false it may be, she’s still out to get me
