When I met you long ago there were things I didn't know But how was I to know how I would feel When you made a goin' rough it made me see I had it tough It makes me wonder did I turn down a better deal If I had another chance to think it over I'm sure I'd found someone with more appeal There are things I really crave nice things you never gave It makes me wonder did I turn down a better deal There's been others in my life who offered more to be their wife Fine things and true love was their deal But I took you instead I don't know why but I just did It makes me wonder did I turn down a better deal Now and then I meet an old flame and I wonder If I should let him know just how I feel But I know it's wrong somehow another gives him her love now And I still wonder did I turn down a better deal
