Lyrics
Oh, I don't know (I don't know)
I don't know, yeah (I don't know)
I don't know, yeah (I don't know)
I don't know (I don't know)
I don't know, yeah (I don't know)
I don't know (I don't know)
I don't know, yeah (I don't know)
I don't know (I don't know)
Yeah, tell me baby
Whatever I did wrong
When I left, pretty baby
Did I stay too long?
You said I, I, I, I, I
Yeah, I don't know, yeah, yeah
Now babe, why did you put me down?
I didn't think there was anybody
Who could take my place when I was around
I tried to do my best as nice as I could
But still you insist
And I didn't do what I should
Now you just can't make a fool out of everybody
'Cause at the end, somebody gonna double cross you
And it'll be your best friend
One thing for sure, was never your goal
You can always say, I don't know
Oh yeah, I don't know (I don't know)
I don't know (I don't know)
I don't know (I don't know)
I don't know (I don't know)
I don't know, yeah (I don't know)
I don't know (I don't know)
I don't know, yeah (I don't know)
I don't know (I don't know)
Yes, tell me, baby (I don't know)
Was it my best friend (I don't know)
That loved you when I left (I don't know)
And you keep lovin' him 'til the end (I don't know)
You said I, I, I, I, I, yeah (I don't know)
I don't know
I don't know
