I couldn't see what you could show me
But sooner or later, one of us must know
When you whispered in my ear
That you just did what you're supposed to do
I didn't realize how young you were
But sooner or later, one of us must know
That you'd be comin' back in a little while
That you just did what you're supposed to do
That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm
Sooner or later, one of us must know
I couldn't see where we were goin'
Your voice was all that I heard
But you said you knew an' I took your word
But you said you knew me and I believed you did
That I really did try to get close to you
That I never really meant to do you any harm
Sooner or later, one of us must know
And I couldn't see how you could know me
That I really did try to get close to you
But sooner or later, one of us must know
I didn't mean to make you so sad
And then you told me later as I apologized
An' I told you as you clawed out my eyes
You just happened to be there, that's all
That you just did what you're supposed to do
When I saw you say goodbye to your friend and smile
I didn't realize just what I did hear
I didn't know that you were sayin' 'goodbye' for good
Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
And I couldn't see when it started snowin'
And asked me if I was leavin' with you or her
Sooner or later, one of us must know
I thought that it was well understood
