You Never Know

You Never Know - James Snyder

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
