hi howard:
I think the overall theme of the story is fine, but there are a few things. In the first verse the rhymes are all oo And
I think you use the word you a little too much. rhymes.  Finally in my opinion, I’m not sure you need a full third verse, maybe a bridge.  This is not to say this isn’t a good idea, just needs refining, watch your rhymes schemes and change the end words for variety.  Keep writing!

WHAT DID I DO
Written by: Howard Delnick

Chords: D-G-A

Verse:
IF I HAD A NICKEL FOR EV'RY TIME I CRIED FOR YOU
I'D BE DRINKIN' OUT IN VEGAS, INSTEAD OF THIS OLD HOTEL ROOM
AND I'D BE RIDIN' HIGH WITH ALL MY FRIENDS
HAVIN' COCKTAILS AT TWO
BUT THE MORE I TIP THIS BOTTLE UP, THE MORE I THINK OF YOU

Chorus:
AND MORE AND MORE I'M WONDERIN', OH, WHAT DID I DO
TO MAKE YOU LEAVE ME, TELL ME WHAT DID I DO
OH MORE AND MORE I'M WONDERIN', OH WHAT DID I DO
TO MAKE YOU LEAVE ME, TELL ME WHAT DID I DO

Verse:
I CAN'T COUNT THE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS
I'VE SPENT WAND'RIN' UNDER THE CITY LIGHTS
BUT I KNOW THAT IT'S TIME FOR ME
TO GET OVER YOU
ALTHOUGH I'VE TRIED A THOUSAND TIMES
I JUST CAN'T EASE MY MIND
IT'S BURDENED WITH THE MEMORIES OF YOU

Chorus:

Verse:
I'D LIKE TO THINK WE COULD BE FRIENDS
BUT THAT'S NOT THE WAY THE STORY ENDS
IT HURTS TO FIND MY LOVE WAS JUST A WASTE OF TIME
WELL I REALIZE YOU'VE GOT YOUR LIFE
AND YOU KNOW THAT I'VE GOT MINE
AND WHO'S TO SAY WE'LL NEVER LOVE AGAIN

Chorus: (twice)
