"I don't know" she said "I don't know
I just don't know at all.
He was kind, lost his mind
Now all I've got is all
I've got"
In the morning she's walking to the station
She don't ride with him no more
And the paperboy out on the pavement
Wants to know what she's crying for
"What you crying for?"
"I don't know" she says "I don't know
I just don't know at all.
He was kind, lost his mind
Now all I've got is all
I've got"
She's saying that she's needing someone to believe in
Who could be strong
And how she hates to spend those dark nights
all alone
In the darkness she's whispering her name
There's nothing else to say now
Upon her tiny window
draws a heart in pain
With an emptiness that just won't go away now
"I don't know" she said "I don't know
Yesterday just seems so long ago
"I don't know" she says "I don't know
It's hard to believe that we were wrong you know"
