You Never Know

You never know, how badly this could go
I’ve got disaster written on my cheek
The odds are I’m some two-faced lying freak
Who will whisper pretty things then leave you flat
And steal your cat; it might not be that bad
But even so,
You never see the worst that things can be
You think you do cuz you’ve been hurt before
Another hurt might hurt you that much more
And odds are I would do what most men do
And hurt you too
Cuz men are men and odds are odds
Although, you never know

You may think you know the end and the beginning
But the truth is there’s no mortal way to tell
And the game’s not over till the final lining
And I’m grinning cuz this game might just end well
You never know

If I only want your dough
I might be on the lamb or on the dole
Of my meds or my nut or on parole
Or even worse, I might be someone who
Is meant for you
And maybe that’s the thing to lay you low
You never know

If I’m a drunkard
Or a dullard to kales or to clever
Or if I might just be the man who’s meant to be with you forever
You never know
You never ever know
