Bob Dylan — One of Us Must Know Sooner or Later

[Verse 1] 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 that you were sayin' goodbye for good [Chorus] But, sooner or later, one of us must know That 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] But, sooner or later, one of us must know That 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 [Verse 3] And 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 [Chorus] But, sooner or later, one of us must know That 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
