| On the day you left I didn’t know
|
| Which way to turn -- which way to go
|
| I felt so bad -- I cursed the day that I was born.
|
| And even now I just can’t stand
|
| To think of you with another man
|
| But does he know, does he really know
|
| What he’s taken on?
|
| I searched my soul, I wracked my brain
|
| At times I thought I’d go insane
|
| And every night I lay awake until the dawn.
|
| Yes I was lost, I was confused
|
| But he’s the one who’s being used
|
| Yeah does he know, does he really know
|
| What he’s taken on?
|
| Now he might think he’s got your love
|
| And that it came from God above
|
| Threw you a line -- he sowed the seeds
|
| He sees your beauty but I know your needs.
|
| He believes that you’re sincere
|
| When you say love ain’t living here
|
| Yeah does he know -- does he really know
|
| What he’s taken on?
|
| Now he might think he’s got your love
|
| And that it came from God above
|
| Is he so blind that he can’t see
|
| You’ll leave him like you left me.
|
| You sailed away all by yourself
|
| And I was left here on the shelf
|
| I never thought I’d say these words
|
| But I’m glad you’re gone.
|
| Yeah he’s found truth -- certainty
|
| Resolution, veracity
|
| But does he know -- does he really know
|
| What he’s taken on?
|
| Well does he know? |
| Well does he know?
|
| Well does he know? |
| Well does he know?
|
| No no no no no!
