Sooner or Later
Blackjack Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So you love the way he holds you in the night
And you believe him when he tells you
Everything's alright
But I wonder if you know
The nature of his game
And all the others he's been lovin' just the same
Yeah
Sooner or later, somebody's gotta let you know
Sooner or later, somebody's gotta let you know
It might as well be me
It might as well be me
Yeah

Promises and plans inside your head
As you sit alone and think of things he said
But of all the love you tell me
You know you've been tastin'
It's much more than all your time
I know you've been wastin' babe, yeah

Sooner or later, somebody's gotta let you know
Sooner or later, somebody's gotta let you know
It might as well be me
It might as well be me
Yeah

I hate to be the one to bring you down
But everybody's talking, it's all over town
The same old story
They tell me that's the way it goes
I'm the first to tell you, now
And, baby you're the last to know, yeah

Sooner or later, somebody's gotta let you know
Sooner or later, somebody's gotta let you know
It might as well be me
It might as well be me
Yeah




Sooner or later, somebody's gotta let you know
Sooner or later, somebody's gotta let you know

So you love the way he holds you in the night
You enjoy how he embraces you in the night


And you believe him when he tells you Everything's alright
You trust him when he reassures you that everything is okay


But I wonder if you know The nature of his game
I'm curious if you really understand his true intentions and habits


And all the others he's been lovin' just the same
He's been involved with multiple other partners in the same manner as you


Promises and plans inside your head As you sit alone and think of things he said
You think about the commitments he's made and the words he's spoken when you're by yourself


But of all the love you tell me You know you've been tastin'
Despite the feelings you claim to have for him, you are aware that you've been indulging in something more physical than emotional


It's much more than all your time I know you've been wastin' babe, yeah
You've spent more than just your time with him, and I think it's been a waste


I hate to be the one to bring you down But everybody's talking, it's all over town
I don't like being the bearer of bad news, but everyone is aware of what's going on and discussing it


The same old story They tell me that's the way it goes
People keep repeating this same type of situation, and I've been informed that it's common


I'm the first to tell you, now And, baby you're the last to know, yeah
I'm informing you before anyone else has, but you seem to be the only one who wasn't aware

At some point, someone needs to inform you of the truth, and that person might as well be me

Sooner or later, somebody's gotta let you know, Sooner or later, somebody's gotta let you know
Again, someone has to inform you of the reality, and it might as well be me
