I Didn't Mean It

( john david )



When you say those words, those three little words

You're in at the deep end

Give up the night times, give up the high times

Give up the weekend

Give up the chance to be your own man

Let the feeling take over

The only way out is to lie if you can

But you don't have the knack

And you'll come crawling back, saying



I didn't mean it, i didn't mean it

I didn't mean to say what i said when i said i didn't mean it

I didn't mean it, i didn't mean it

I didn't mean to say what i said it was only a game

I didn't mean it, i didn't mean it

I didn't mean to tell you in so many words, i didn't mean it

I felt tied down, my pride down

That i put that lie down

The prize now for you is me



Well i was like you and all i could do was

Give up and surrender

The people can trace what they did in my face

But they're just pretenders

They told me mercenary action today

Is a line as simple and pure

But what if you found you made a mistake

The medicine's worse than the cure

And you'll be back for sure, saying



I didn't mean it, i didn't mean it

I didn't mean to say what i said when i said i didn't mean it

I didn't mean it, i didn't mean it

I didn't mean to say what i said it was only a game

I didn't mean it, i didn't mean it

I didn't mean to tell you in so many words, i didn't mean it

I felt tied down, my pride down

That i put that lie down

The prize now for you is me



Give up the chance to be your own man

Let the feeling take over

The only way out is to lie if you can

But you don't have the knack

And you'll come crawling back, saying



I didn't mean it, i didn't mean it

I didn't mean to say what i said when i said i didn't mean it

I didn't mean it, i didn't mean it

I didn't mean to say what i said it was only a game

I didn't mean it, i didn't mean it

I didn't mean to tell you in so many words, i didn't mean it

I felt tied down, my pride down

That i put that lie down

The prize now for you is me
