I didnt mean
To treat you so bad
You shouldnt take it so personal
I didnt mean
To make you so sad
You just happened to be there, thats all
When I saw you say goodbye to your friend and smile
I thought that it was well understood
That youd be comin back in a little while
I didnt know that you were sayin goodbye for good
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
That you just did what youre supposed to do
Sooner or later, one of us must know
That I really did try to get close to you
I couldnt see
What you could show me
Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
I couldnt 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 didnt realize just what I did hear
I didnt realize how young you were
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
That youre just doin what youre supposed to do
Sooner or later, one of us must know
That I really did try to get close to you
I couldnt see
When it started snowin
Your voice was all that I heard
I couldnt see
Where we were goin
But you said you knew an I took your word
And then you told me later, as I apologized
That you were just kiddin me, you werent really from the farm
An 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
That you just did what youre supposed to do
Sooner or later, one of us must know
That I really did try to get close to you
