Verse One:

I found your diary underneath a tree,
And started reading about me,
The words she'd written took me by surprise,
You'd never read them in her eyes,

Chorus I:

They said that she had found,
The love she'd waited for,
Wouldn't you know it,
She would'nt show it,

Verse Two:

Then she confronted with her writing there,
Simply pretended not to care,
I passed it off as just in keeping with,
Her total disconcerting aire,

Chorus II:

And though she tried to hide,
The love that she denied,
Wouldn't you know it,
She wouldn't show it,

Chorus III:

And as I go through my life,
I will give to her-my wife,
All the sweet things I can find,

Verse Three:

I found your diary underneath a tree,
And started reading about me,
The words began to stick and tears to flow,
The meaning now was clear to see,

Chorus IV:

The love she'd waited for,
Was someone else-not me,
Wouldn't you know it,
She wouldn't show it,

Chorus V:

And as I go through my life,
I will wish for her-his wife,
All the sweet things she can find,
All the sweet things they can find.
