I Didn't Mean It Lyrics - Status Quo

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 go 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 go 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
