VERSE 1:
Staring at a coffee machine waitin for my first cup
Here I am puching the clock and trying to wake up
Then the guy from sales comes in with donughts for the crew
My big mistake is saying, "hey what's going on with you?"

And before I can get away, he tells it to me straight

CHORUS 1:
He woke up late forget to shave cause both his goldfish died
He stubbed his toe, burnt the toast spilled coffee on his favorite tie
His back went out, his stomach hurts, his credit cards are maxed
I shake my head, roo
Wish I'd never asked...

VERSE 2:
Standing there in the checkout line and boy it's moving slow
just one thing I need to buy, come on I gotta go
Lady right in front of me smiles and looks my way
I smile back and say to her, "How you doing today?"
Whos' to know she'd tell me, her whole complete life

CHORUS 2:
Her life's a joke she just stopped smoking and started up again
Lost 20 pounds, but they found her it's like she just can't win
She chipped a tooth, and broke a nail and the boss is on her back
I shake my head, roll my eyes and think...Wish I'd never asked...

I had to ask...

BRIDGE:
Bartender asked me, "How you doin' tonight?"
I just say I"m doin' fine...course...

CHORUS 3:
All the rent is due, my paychecks late, the bills came right on time
the power's off the roof still leaks and I'm about to lose my mind
Down to my last 40 bucks, and now that's goin fast
He shakes his head, rolls his eyes, and I think I hear him say as he walks away...

Wish I'd never asked...
Wish I'd never asked...
Wish I'd never asked...
Whooo....
