"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"
