One of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later)

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 you were sayin' goodbye

For good

But sooner or later, one of us must know

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 could hear

I didn't realize how young you were

But sooner or later, one of us must know

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

You were just kiddin', you weren't really from the farm

And I told you, as you clawed out my eyes

I never really meant to do you any harm

But sooner or later, one of us must know

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
