Two parents in the heat of battle   One child's ear pressed to the door   And mom, she cries like a wounded dove   Shot down, by a man who could not love      She said that one day   I'd understand      What did you mean when you said that?   I'd like to know   What did you mean when you said that?   Guess some things are better left alone      Two lovers staring at the dead walls   One bed we thought we'd never have to make   And as she packed to say goodbye   I just had to ask her why      She said that one day   I'll understand      What did you mean when you said that?   I'd like to know   What did you mean when you said that?   Guess some things are better left, better left      La, da, da (Alone)   La, da, da   La, da, da   La, da, da      (solo)    What did you mean when you said that?   I'd like to know   What did you mean when you said that?   I guess some things are better left, better left   (La, la la la)      I'd like to know   I'd like to know   I'd like to know, know   Know, know, to know      Like to know   Like to know   Like to know   Ho, oh   No, yeah, yeah, yeah
