I can see youre not so happy to be without me Youve had time to think And now youre so sorry And I still mean everything to you And the day I left Your poor heart shattered You should have told me when it mattered All time my love was all you ever needed Its a shame it took this long for you to know it You miss all of the little things I did But the memories for me have all scattered You should have told me when it mattered One little show of affection Once would have meant the world to me Now all your loving words cant change the way I feel So if your pride is a little bruised and battered You should have told me when it mattered Youd give anything if I wouldnt be so stubborn But once youve been bitten The next time you learn And youll never love someone as much as me Well that sounds real nice And I ought to be flattered You should have told me when it mattered One little show of affection Once would have meant the world to me Now all your loving words cant change the way I feel So if your pride is a little bruised and battered You should have told me when it mattered You should have told me You should have told me You should have told me When it mattered
