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 friends 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

 But 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

 But you just doing 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

 And 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

 But 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.
