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.
