| Two parents in the heat of battle |
| One child’s ear pressed to the door |
| And mom, she cries like a wounded dove |
| Shot down, by a man who could not love |
| She said that one day |
| I’d understand |
| What did you mean when you said that? |
| I’d like to know |
| What did you mean when you said that? |
| Guess some things are better left alone |
| Two lovers staring at the dead walls |
| One bed we thought we’d never have to make |
| And as she packed to say goodbye |
| I just had to ask her why |
| She said that one day |
| I’ll understand |
| What did you mean when you said that? |
| I’d like to know |
| What did you mean when you said that? |
| Guess some things are better left, better left |
| La, da, da (Alone) |
| La, da, da La, da, da La, da, da |
| (solo) |
| What did you mean when you said that? |
| I’d like to know |
| What did you mean when you said that? |
| I guess some things are better left, better left |
| (La, la la la) |
| I’d like to know |
| I’d like to know |
| I’d like to know, know |
| Know, know, to know |
| Like to know |
| Like to know |
| Like to know |
| Ho, oh No, yeah, yeah, yeah |
