On the day you left I didn¡¯t know
|
Which way to turn -- which way to go
|
I felt so bad -- I cursed the day that I was born.
|
|
And even now I just can¡¯t stand
|
To think of you with another man
|
But does he know, does he really know
|
What he¡¯s taken on?
|
|
I searched my soul, I wracked my brain
|
At times I thought I¡¯d go insane
|
And every night I lay awake until the dawn.
|
|
Yes I was lost, I was confused
|
But he¡¯s the one who¡¯s being used
|
Yeah does he know, does he really know
|
What he¡¯s taken on?
|
|
Now he might think he¡¯s got your love
|
And that it came from God above
|
Threw you a line -- he sowed the seeds
|
He sees your beauty but I know your needs.
|
|
He believes that you¡¯re sincere
|
When you say love ain¡¯t living here
|
Yeah does he know -- does he really know
|
What he¡¯s taken on?
|
|
Now he might think he¡¯s got your love
|
And that it came from God above
|
Is he so blind that he can¡¯t see
|
You¡¯ll leave him like you left me.
|
|
You sailed away all by yourself
|
And I was left here on the shelf
|
I never thought I¡¯d say these words
|
But I¡¯m glad you¡¯re gone.
|
|
Yeah he¡¯s found truth -- certainty
|
Resolution, veracity
|
But does he know -- does he really know
|
What he¡¯s taken on?
|
|
Well does he know? Well does he know?
|
Well does he know? Well does he know?
|
No no no no no!
