You Never Know Lyrics

"I'm not afraid of love," he told her, but he lied

She understood. "His heart is good," she'd tell her friends

But they'd all laugh at her

He made her promises and meant just what he said

She knew his MO. She'd watched him go before and

Every time he left, she'd wonder

Will this be the time he leaves for good? You never know

And if he leaves again, this time, will she let him go

Sometimes he'd bring her flowers off the discount rack

She knew, didn't care, she's not unaware, she's just

Accustomed to his ways, he made her smile

She had some money saved in case he went too far

Kept it in a jar, he knew where it was, she knew he

Knew, she let him, that's her style

Will this be the time he leaves for good? You never know

And if he leaves again, this time, will she let him go

She knows he's never sticking 'round. None of them ever have before

She only hopes he sticks around – just a little more

"I'm not afraid of love," he told her, but he lied
