[00:20.11]You never know  how badly this could go
[00:24.60]
[00:25.68]I've got disaster written on my cheek
[00:29.15]
[00:30.29]The odds are I'm some two-faced lying freak
[00:33.79]
[00:34.77]Who will whisper pretty things then leave you flat
[00:38.48]
[00:40.27]And steal your cat; it might not be that bad
[00:44.36]
[00:46.55]But even so
[00:48.01]
[00:50.10]You never see the worst that things can be
[00:55.46]
[00:56.85]You think you do cuz you've been hurt before
[01:00.52]
[01:01.57]Another hurt might hurt you that much more
[01:05.28]
[01:06.24]And odds are I would do what most men do
[01:10.23]
[01:11.63]And hurt you too
[01:12.79]
[01:14.14]Cuz men are men and odds are odds
[01:17.18]
[01:18.40]Although  you never know
[01:24.94]You may think you know the end and the beginning
[01:28.46]But the truth is there's no mortal way to tell
[01:32.15]
[01:34.64]And the game's not over till the final lining
[01:38.47]And I'm grinning cuz this game might just end well
[01:42.66]
[01:44.96]You never know
[01:48.85]
[01:51.56]If I only want your dough
[01:53.95]
[01:54.48]I might be on the lamb or on the dole
[01:58.25]
[01:58.97]Of my meds or my nut or on parole
[02:02.64]
[02:04.14]Or even worse  I might be someone who
[02:08.34]
[02:09.39]Is meant for you
[02:10.80]
[02:11.92]And maybe that's the thing to lay you low
[02:16.54]You never know
[02:20.39]
[02:21.32]If I’m a drunkard
[02:23.01]Or a dullard to kales or to clever
[02:27.50]Or if I might just be the man who's meant to be with you forever
[02:34.18]
[02:35.15]You never know
[02:36.57]
[02:39.09]You never ever know
