I Just Had To Ask
By
Mark Elliott & Michael Bornheim


Meet me in Saint Augustine the 5th. of December
At that old place out on Highway 1
With the cold beer and oysters
Buffalo is way too cold
And you know how I hate the snow
Up in Buffalo

I might be hard to recognize
I?ve gone through some changes
I still wear that Cowboy hat
But I?ve turned a lot of pages
That? what this letter?s about
Maybe we can work this thing out

What was I thinking when I let you go
I?d give you a reason but God only knows
Only a fool would ever think you?d come back
But I guess you already know that
I just had to ask


I hope you?re not married
But it wouldn?t surprise me
I?ve got the best of intentions but still damn lousy timing
I wouldn?t be in the mess that I am
If I?d of told you I loved you back then

I?ll order two beers at our old corner booth
Act like you?re coming
But I know the truth

Only a fool would ever think you?d come back
But I guess you already know that
I just had to ask
