Does He Know What He`s Taken On — текст песни (Gerry Rafferty)

On the day you left I didn`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 can`t stand
To think of you with another man
But does he know, does he really know
What he`s taken on?

I searched my soul, I wracked my brain
At times I thought I`d go insane
And every night I lay awake until the dawn.

Yes I was lost, I was confused
But he`s the one who`s being used
Yeah does he know, does he really know
What he`s taken on?

Now he might think he`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 you`re sincere
When you say love ain`t living here
Yeah does he know -- does he really know
What he`s taken on?

Now he might think he`s got your love
And that it came from God above
Is he so blind that he can`t see
You`ll leave him like you left me.

You sailed away all by yourself
And I was left here on the shelf
I never thought I`d say these words
But I`m glad you`re gone.

Yeah he`s found truth -- certainty
Resolution, veracity
But does he know -- does he really know
What 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!
