Intro : 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 my 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                     But, sooner or later, one of us must know 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 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 Refrain 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 an'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 An'I told you, as you clawed out my eyes That I never really meant to do you any harm Refrain
