One of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later) (Take 19, Alternate Take) - Bob Dylan

Written by：Bob Dylan

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 coming back in a little while

I didn't know that you were sayin' goodbye for good

Oh 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 tell what you could show me

Your scarf had kept your mouth well hid

I couldn't tell how you could know me

But you said you knew me and I believed you did

When you whispered in my ear

Asked me if I was leaving with you or her

I didn't realize just what I did hear

I didn't realize how young you were

Oh 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 hear when it started snowing

Your voice that suppose that was all I heard

I couldn't see where we were going

But you said you knew an' I took your word

When you told me later as I apologized

That you were just kiddin' me you weren't really from the farm

I told you as you clawed out my eyes

That I never really meant to do you any harm

Oh 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
