Why Didn't I Think Of That    (SD 225)   Tim Pepper

OPENER



Circle left
He sends her roses and lines he composes
Things a lady loves

Left allemande now you dosado her
Left allemande and you weave
Now that she's left, I keep kicking myself
Whenever I start thinking back
He says he needs her, tells her he loves her
Why didn't I think of that?

FIGURE (twice for heads, twice for sides)



Head (side) couples square thru it's 4 hands go 'round now You make a right hand star
Heads (sides) star by the left and you turn it rollin' go 'round now
Same 2 touch 1/4
You scoot back and then you're gonna scoot back again
You'd better swing the corner all, promenade
He says he wants her, can't live without her
Why didn't I think of that?

MIDDLE BREAK



Sides face, grand square
Ooh, I've been watchin', every move that he makes Ooh...I've been thinkin', it could'a been different somehow
Circle left
He sings her love songs, and tells her his love's strong
Left allemande and promenade
I did my best, thought of everything else
Why didn't I think of that?

CLOSER



4 boys promenade, you're gonna walk inside the ring now
Get back and swing with your lady
Join hands, circle to the left gonna walk around the ring now
Left allemande and you weave
Oh, now that she's gone, I know what I did wrong
It's all so simple in fact
He says he needs her, tells her he loves her
Why didn't I think of that?

TAG



Swing her boys
He says he loves her and he'll never leave her
Why didn't I think of that?

(Use these lyrics during the Opener:)



Well, he's there to hold when she needs a shoulder if life gets too rough
Oh, now that she's left I keep kickin' myself whenever I start thinkin' back
He says he needs her; tells her he loves her
Why didn't I think of that?

(Use these lyrics during the Middle Break:)



Ooh...I've been thinkin', it coulda been different somehow
He sings her love songs, and tells her his love's strong; things she needs to know
I did my best, thought of everything else
Why didn't I think of that?

(Use these lyrics during the Closer:)



He makes her smile again
He mends her heartaches; remembers her birthday and tries to be a friend
Now that she's gone I know what I did wrong; it's all so simple in fact:
He says he wants her; can't live without her
Why didn't I think of that?
