I Didnt Mean It — текст песни (Status Quo)

( john david )



When you say those words, those three little words

Youre 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 dont have the knack

And youll come crawling back, saying



I didnt mean it, I didnt mean it

I didnt mean to say what I said when I said I didnt mean it

I didnt mean it, I didnt mean it

I didnt mean to say what I said it was only a game

I didnt mean it, I didnt mean it

I didnt mean to tell you in so many words, I didnt 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 theyre 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 medicines worse than the cure

And youll be back for sure, saying



I didnt mean it, I didnt mean it

I didnt mean to say what I said when I said I didnt mean it

I didnt mean it, I didnt mean it

I didnt mean to say what I said it was only a game

I didnt mean it, I didnt mean it

I didnt mean to tell you in so many words, I didnt 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 dont have the knack

And youll come crawling back, saying



I didnt mean it, I didnt mean it

I didnt mean to say what I said when I said I didnt mean it

I didnt mean it, I didnt mean it

I didnt mean to say what I said it was only a game

I didnt mean it, I didnt mean it

I didnt mean to tell you in so many words, I didnt mean it

I felt tied down, my pride down

That I put that lie down

The prize now for you is me
