One Of Us Must Know

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
