Why Did You Wait Lyrics

(Clyde Wilson - Bettie Westergard)

Why did you wait to prove to be untrue
Why did you change what's come over you
What made you stop a caryin' for me
Why did you wait till we had a family?

Why did you wait till a baby was born
Think of the shame look at the harm
Think of what you've done to your baby and me
Why did you wait till we had a family?

I'd rather be dead than to tell her the news
Your daddy's traded us for bright lights and booze
I can see her little face as she cries in misery
Why don't my daddy stay with my mommy and me.

Why did you wait till a baby was born
Think of the shame look at the harm
Think of what you've done to your baby and me
Why did you wait till we had a family?...
