What Did You Mean
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Two parents in the heat of battle
One child's ear pressed to the door
And mom, she cries like a wounded dove
Shot down, by a man who could not love
She said that one day
I'd understand
What did you mean when you said that?
I'd like to know
What did you mean when you said that?
Guess some things are better left alone
Two lovers staring at the dead walls
One bed we thought we'd never have to make
And as she packed to say goodbye
I just had to ask her why
She said that one day
I'll understand
What did you mean when you said that?
I'd like to know
What did you mean when you said that?
Guess some things are better left, better left
La, da, da (Alone)
La, da, da
La, da, da
La, da, da
(solo)
What did you mean when you said that?
I'd like to know
What did you mean when you said that?
I guess some things are better left, better left
(La, la la la)
I'd like to know
I'd like to know
I'd like to know, know
Know, know, to know
Like to know
Like to know
Like to know
Ho, oh
No, yeah, yeah, yeah
