Oh I don't know

Yes tell me baby

Whatever I did wrong

When I left pretty baby

Did I stay too long

You said I, I don't know

Now baby 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

I didn't do what I should

Now you just can't make a fool of everybody

'Cause at the end

Somebody gonna double cross you

Gonna be your best friend

One thing's for sure

Was wherever you go

You can always say

I don't know

I don't know

Yes tell me baby

Was it my best friend

That loved you when I left

And you keep lovin' him 'til the end

You said I

I don't know

I don't know
