Who Knew
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You promised me you'd be around
Uh huh, that's right
I took your words and I believed
In everything you said to me
Yeah huh, that's right
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and call them loud
'Cause they're all wrong
I know better
'Cause you said forever and ever
Who knew?
Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no, no, no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you friend
I'd give anything
When someone said count your blessings now
For they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
They knew better
Still you said forever and ever
Who knew? Yeah, yeah
I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until we, until we, until we meet again
I won't forget you, my friend
What happened?
If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and call them loud
'Cause they're all wrong
And the last kiss, I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes it harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep your memory
You visit me in my sleep, my darling
Who knew?
My darling, my darling
Who knew?
My darling, I miss you, my darling
Who knew? Who knew?
