[Verse 1] I didnt mean to treat you so bad You shouldnt take it so personal I didnt mean to make you so sad You just happened to be there, thats all When I saw you say goodbye to your friend and smile I thought that it was well understood That youd be comin back in a little while I didnt know that you were sayin goodbye for good [Chorus] But, sooner or later, one of us must know That you just did what youre supposed to do Sooner or later, one of us must know That I really did try to get close to you [Verse 2] I couldnt see what you could show me Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid I couldnt 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 didnt realize just what I did hear I didnt realize how young you were [Chorus] But, sooner or later, one of us must know That you just did what youre supposed to do Sooner or later, one of us must know That I really did try to get close to you [Verse 3] And I couldnt see when it started snowin Your voice was all that I heard I couldnt see where we were goin But you said you knew and I took your word And then you told me later, as I apologized That you were just kiddin me, you werent really from the farm And I told you, as you clawed out my eyes That I never really meant to do you any harm [Chorus] But, sooner or later, one of us must know That you just did what youre supposed to do Sooner or later, one of us must know That I really did try to get close to you
sooner, later, must, didnt, really
