Babyface
You’ll Never Know
[Verse 1]
Now you finally tell me how you feel
Guess your words just came a little too late
All the drama, boy, it's overkill
Don't be mad at me 'cause you've been replaced
Know your place

[Pre-Chorus]
But if you woulda manned up
Put your hand up, stand up
Tell me how you really felt
Then maybe it'd be different
If you spoke, I woulda listened
But now, I'm with somebody else
And he loves me too much for me to mess this up
Bet it sucks to be all in your head
Wondering where this thing could go, but

[Chorus]
You will never know (Oh-oh)
What we could have been
If you would've shown (Oh-oh)
Me way back then
Boy, you coulda (Yup, yup)
Boy, you shoulda (Yup, yup)
But you didn't, no, so
Now you'll never know, you'll never know
[Verse 2]
Know it's probably hard for you to hear
But there's nothing left for you to say
Had my heart all in your hands, boy, what you don't understand
Is a girl like me don't have no time to waste around

[Pre-Chorus]
But if you woulda manned up
Put your hand up, stand up
Tell me how you really felt
Then maybe it'd be different
If you spoke, I would've listened
But now, I'm with somebody else
And he loves me too much for me to mess this up
Bet it sucks to be all in your head
Wondering where this thing could go, but

[Chorus]
You will never know (Oh-oh)
What we could have been
If you would've shown (If you would've shown; Oh-oh)
Me way back then
Boy, you coulda (Yup, yup)
Boy, you shoulda (Yup, yup)
But you didn't know, so
Now you'll never know, you'll never know
[Post-Chorus]
You'll never know
Boy, you should've told me, told me
You'll never know
Boy, you should've let me know
You'll never know
Boy, you could've been there for me
But now, you'll never know, you'll never know

[Bridge]
It's not my fault
You're a little bit too late
You're the only one to blame
Wipe that look off your face
You can wish a thousand times
But none of that will change my mind, boy
You had a chance, you'll never get back, get back, uh-uh

[Chorus]
You will never know
What we could have been
If you would've shown (If you would've shown, babe)
Me way back then (Way back then, baby)
Boy, you coulda (Yup, yup)
Boy, you shoulda (Yup, yup)
But you didn't know, so
Now you'll never know (Oh, baby)
[Post-Chorus]
You'll never know
Boy, you could've told me, told me
You'll never know
Boy, you could've let me know
You'll never know
Boy, you could've been there for me
But now you'll never know, you'll never know
You'll never know (No, no, no, you will never know, my baby)
You'll never know (Know, yeah)
You'll never know (You will never know, ooh)
