Why Did You Wait Lyrics

Jean Shepard Why Did You Wait

Why did you wait to prove to be untrue why did you change what's come over you
What made you stop a carin' 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
[ steel ]
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...
