One of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later) [Live at Nippon Budokan Hall, Tokyo, Japan - March 1, 1978] Lyrics

I didn't mean to hurt 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 said goodbye to your friend and smile
I thought that it was well-understood
You'd be comin' back in a little while
I didn't know you're sayin' goodbye for good

Sooner or later, one of us must know
You're just doin' what you're supposed to do
Sooner or later, one of us must know
I really did try to get close to you

I didn't know what you could show me
Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid
I didn't know 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

Sooner or later, one of us must know
You're just doin' what you're supposed to do
Sooner or later, either one of us must know
I really did try to get close to you

I couldn't see when it started snowin'
Your voice was all that I had heard
I don't know where we were goin'
But you said you knew and I took your word

When you told me later, as I apologized
You were just kiddin' me, you really weren't from the farm
And I told you, as you clawed out my eyes
I never meant to do you any harm

Sooner or later, one of us must know
You're just doing what you're supposed to do
Sooner or later, one of us must know
I really did try to get close to you
