I sat there talking to myself: Why can't he turn it down? He keeps that TV up so loud that I can't think And every time I turn a page He starts to talk about his day Can't he see I'm trying to read And it's cold enough in here to freeze He keeps it 68 degrees What's that man been thinking of? In all the years we've been together You think he'd know me better than he does I sat there wondering to myself Why he wears those same old clothes But then he says he knows they're out of style And damn that man Why can't he tell I'm dying in this house? I ain't been out on the town in quite a while And can't he tell what mood I'm in The way I've got my back to him I don't feel like making love In all the years we've been together You think he'd know me better than he does I sat there thinking to myself Why's he been coming home so late? He knows his supper's waiting on the stove And I sat there lying to myself About the suitcase in the hall And the night I heard him call her on the 'phone Said he'd been thinking to himself How I 've treated him like hell And I've forgotten how to love And right before he drove away Through his tears, he tried to say I don't talk to him enough In all the years we've been together You'd think he'd know me better than he does In all the years we've been together Why don't he know me better than he does?
