| I didn’t mean to treat you so bad
|
| You shouldn’t take it so personal
|
| I didn’t mean to make you so sad
|
| You just happened to be there, that’s all
|
| When i saw you say «goodbye"to your friend and smile
|
| I thought that it was well understood
|
| That you’d be comin' back in a little while
|
| I didn’t know that you were sayin' «goodbye"for good
|
| But, sooner or later, one of us must know
|
| You just did what you’re supposed to do Sooner or later, one of us must know
|
| That i really did try to get close to you
|
| I couldn’t see what you could show me Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
|
| I couldn’t see how you could know me But you said you knew me and i believed you did
|
| When you whispered in my ear
|
| And asked me if i was leavin' with you or her
|
| I didn’t realize just what i did hear
|
| I didn’t realize how young you were
|
| But, sooner or later, one of us must know
|
| You just did what you’re supposed to do Sooner or later, one of us must know
|
| That i really did try to get close to you
|
| I couldn’t see when it started snowin'
|
| Your voice was all that i heard
|
| I couldn’t see where we were goin'
|
| But you said you knew an' i took your word
|
| And then you told me later, as i apologized
|
| That you were just kiddin' me, you weren’t really from the farm
|
| An' i told you, as you clawed out my eyes
|
| That i never really meant to do you any harm
|
| But, sooner or later, one of us must know
|
| You just did what you’re supposed to do Sooner or later, one of us must know
|
| That i really did try to get close to you |
