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 it was that well understood
I didn't mean to treat you so bad
That you'd be coming back in a little while
I didn't know that you were saying goodbye for good
Sooner or later, one of us must know
That you just did what you're supposed to do
Sooner or later
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 that 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
And when you whispered in my ear
And asked me if I was living with you
Or her
I didn't realize just what I could hear
I didn't realize how young you were
Sooner or later, one of us must know
That you're just doing what you're supposed to do
Sooner or later, one of us must know
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 snowing
When it started snowing
Your voice was all the time



All that I heard
I couldn't see
Where we were going
But you said you knew
When I took your word
And then you told me later
As I apologized
That you were just kidding 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
Sooner or later
One of us must know
That you just did
What you 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
Sooner or later
