One of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later)

Lyrics

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
 That 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
 That 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 and 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
 That 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
