Status Quo - I Didn't Mean It Lyrics
( john david )When you say those words, those three little wordsYoure in at the deep endGive up the night times, give up the high timesGive up the weekendGive up the chance to be your own manLet the feeling take overThe only way out is to lie if you canBut you dont have the knackAnd youll come crawling back, sayingI didnt mean it, I didnt mean itI didnt mean to say what I said when I said I didnt mean itI didnt mean it, I didnt mean itI didnt mean to say what I said it was only a gameI didnt mean it, I didnt mean itI didnt mean to tell you in so many words, I didnt mean itI felt tied down, my pride downThat I put that lie downThe prize now for you is meWell I was like you and all I could do wasGive up and surrenderThe people can trace what they did in my faceBut theyre just pretendersThey told me mercenary action todayIs a line as simple and pureBut what if you found you made a mistakeThe medicines worse than the cureAnd youll be back for sure, sayingI didnt mean it, I didnt mean itI didnt mean to say what I said when I said I didnt mean itI didnt mean it, I didnt mean itI didnt mean to say what I said it was only a gameI didnt mean it, I didnt mean itI didnt mean to tell you in so many words, I didnt mean itI felt tied down, my pride downThat I put that lie downThe prize now for you is meGive up the chance to be your own manLet the feeling take overThe only way out is to lie if you canBut you dont have the knackAnd youll come crawling back, sayingI didnt mean it, I didnt mean itI didnt mean to say what I said when I said I didnt mean itI didnt mean it, I didnt mean itI didnt mean to say what I said it was only a gameI didnt mean it, I didnt mean itI didnt mean to tell you in so many words, I didnt mean itI felt tied down, my pride downThat I put that lie downThe prize now for you is me
