[Verse 1]
I can't tell you what's coming next
'Cause I don't know for sure
It could be good and it could be bad
I don't know for sure
I guess that I'll continue
On from day to day
The only way to answer that
To answer that would be to be that way, oh
[Verse 2]
I wanted this, and I wanted that
I don't know for sure
And don't ask because I don't know
I don't know for sure
I never get confused 'cause I don't really know
So I'm happy, and so what?
And "so what" means that I don't know
[Verse 3]
It's too simple to explain
'Cause I don't know for sure
And words are never proper words
'Cause I don't know for sure
And what is simple and what is hard
Is harder to discern
Well these feelings that I'm feeling
Are like the feelings that we learn, oh-ho
[Verse 4]
Oh, I can't tell you what's coming next
'Cause I don't know for sure
It could be good and it could be bad
I don't know for sure
I never get confused 'cause I don't really know
And so I'm happy, and so what?
And "so what" means that I don't know
[Outro]
Oh, I can't tell you what's coming next, no
'Cause I don't know for sure at all
I can't tell you what's coming next 'cause
Because I don't know for sure at all
Oh-whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh-ooh-oh
