"Does He Know What He's Taken On"

On the day you left I didn't knowWhich way to turn -- which way to goI felt so bad -- I cursed the day that I was born.
And even now I just can't standTo think of you with another manBut does he know, does he really knowWhat he's taken on?
I searched my soul, I wracked my brainAt times I thought I'd go insaneAnd every night I lay awake until the dawn.
Yes I was lost, I was confusedBut he's the one who's being usedYeah does he know, does he really knowWhat he's taken on?
Now he might think he's got your loveAnd that it came from God aboveThrew you a line -- he sowed the seedsHe sees your beauty but I know your needs.
He believes that you're sincereWhen you say love ain't living hereYeah does he know -- does he really knowWhat he's taken on?
Now he might think he's got your loveAnd that it came from God aboveIs he so blind that he can't seeYou'll leave him like you left me.
You sailed away all by yourselfAnd I was left here on the shelfI never thought I'd say these wordsBut I'm glad you're gone.
Yeah he's found truth -- certaintyResolution, veracityBut does he know -- does he really knowWhat he's taken on?
Well does he know? Well does he know?Well does he know? Well does he know?No no no no no!
