I Don't Know Lyrics

I DON'T KNOW
(words and music Kate McGarrigle/Garden Court Music ASCAP)

Love...love is like a bullet in a gun
Aimed at your heart
Tears your heart apart
You scream and you bleed
Fall down to your knees
Reaching for a hand
But the hunter turns his back
He hears his trumpet sound
And the sun is going down

You ask me what it's all about
I say I don't know
Should you stay and work it out
I say I don't think so

Before you let the stranger in Kate & Anna McGarrigle - I Don't Know - http://motolyrics.com/kate-and-anna-mcgarrigle/i-dont-know-lyrics.html

You ask me what it's all about
I say I don't know
Should you stay and work it out
Give it up! Let it go!

Love is like a bullet in a gun
Aimed at your heart
Tears your heart apart
You scream and you bleed
And reach out for a hand
And fall down on your knees
Man is truly the cruelest of beasts

You ask me what it's all about
I say I don't know
Should you stay and work it out
I say I don't think so
Life is short and grief can tear a heart apart
Life is short , life is sweet
This much I know
Should you stay and work it out
I say I don't think so
