She was made to haunt your memory
She was born ten years too late
She was ready
For a chance you wouldn't take
You remember how she looked at you
How it took your breath away
Long ago and now you know
You should've stayed
Thinkin' about it later
You can't help wonderin' why
It's the things you didn't do
That make you cry
When the curtain started rising
When the band began to play
When they called your name
You turned and walked away
Thinkin' about it later
You can't help wonderin' why
It's the things you didn't do
That make you cry
Take a chance, lay it on the line
You'll never win
If you don't keep on tryin'
She was made to haunt your memory
She was born ten years too late
She was ready
For a chance you wouldn't take
Thinkin' about it later
You can't help wonderin' why
It's the things you didn't do
That make you cry
Thinkin' about it later
You can't help wonderin' why
It's the things you didn't do
That make you cry
