does he know what he's taken on

Gerry Rafferty

On the day you left I didnââ?¬â?¢t know
Which way to turn -- which way to go
I felt so bad -- I cursed the day that I was born.

And even now I just canââ?¬â?¢t stand
To think of you with another man
But does he know, does he really know
What heââ?¬â?¢s taken on?

I searched my soul, I wracked my brain
At times I thought Iââ?¬â?¢d go insane
And every night I lay awake until the dawn.

Yes I was lost, I was confused
But heââ?¬â?¢s the one whoââ?¬â?¢s being used
Yeah does he know, does he really know
What heââ?¬â?¢s taken on?

Now he might think heââ?¬â?¢s got your love
And that it came from God above
Threw you a line -- he sowed the seeds
He sees your beauty but I know your needs.

He believes that youââ?¬â?¢re sincere
When you say love ainââ?¬â?¢t living here
Yeah does he know -- does he really know
What heââ?¬â?¢s taken on?

Now he might think heââ?¬â?¢s got your love
And that it came from God above
Is he so blind that he canââ?¬â?¢t see
Youââ?¬â?¢ll leave him like you left me.

You sailed away all by yourself
And I was left here on the shelf
I never thought Iââ?¬â?¢d say these words
But Iââ?¬â?¢m glad youââ?¬â?¢re gone.

Yeah heââ?¬â?¢s found truth -- certainty
Resolution, veracity
But does he know -- does he really know
What heââ?¬â?¢s taken on?

Well does he know? Well does he know?
Well does he know? Well does he know?
No no no no no!
