[Verse 1]
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 comin' back in a little while
I didn’t know that you were sayin’ goodbye for good
[Chorus]
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
That 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
[Verse 2]
I couldn’t see what you could show me

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
[Chorus]
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
That 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
[Verse 3]
And 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 ya' knew an’ I took your word
And then ya' told me later, as I apologized
That you were just kiddin’ me, you weren’t really from the farm
An’ I told you, as ya' clawed out my eyes
That I never really meant to do you any harm
[Chorus]
But, sooner or later, one of us must know
That 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
One of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later) was written by Bob Dylan.
Emma Swift released One of Us Must Know (Sooner or Later) on Wed Dec 09 2020.
I wanted to explore how romantic and sad this song can be, because when you listen to the Dylan version, it’s a lot more acerbic. He’s got a wonderful snarl in his voice, and I love that. But I think that this song is in many ways about love and everything that can go wrong with it, and how, on the...
