I Didn't Mean It Lyrics

I didn't mean it
I didn't mean - I didn't say that
I didn't say that
And if I said that
I didn't mean it
You know I never no I couldn't ever hurt you
I wouldn't hurt you
I didn't hurt you
And if I did I didn't mean it
I didn't mean it
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't
Mean it

I don't know how it started
It was like a thunder dart
Out of the clear and peaceful blue
I may have made a joke
Was that a reason to explode
You must have known it wasn't aimed at you
You said I put you down
Of course I laughed and called you daft
And then it seemed to escalate
But let's get it straight it was you who threw the first plate

I didn't mean it
I didn't mean - I didn't say that
I didn't say that
And if I said that
I didn't mean it
You know I never no I couldn't ever hurt you
I wouldn't hurt you
I didn't hurt you
And if I did I didn't mean it
I didn't mean it
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't
Mean it

With those exocet missiles
Flying round my head
You should have known it was a dangerous game
I've had a lot of practice
And I've been well trained
To take good and careful aim
I must have made at least a dozen direct hits
Although of course I wasn't keeping the score
And it looked like the place had been hit by a nuclear war

I didn't mean it
I didn't mean - I didn't hurt you
I didn't hurt you
And if I hurt you
I didn't mean it
You know I never no I couldn't ever do that
I wouldn't do that
I didn't do that
And if I did I didn't mean it
I didn't mean it
I didn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't
Mean it

You told me if I loved you
I'd know what you really what you wanted
Wasn't that just another attack
You said I ought to leave
And then you said that if I did
I'd better never come back
And how was I to know that when you told me I should go
You really wanted me to stay?
I've got no pride
And why do I have to be the one to give way

I didn't mean it
I didn't mean - I didn't do that
I didn't do that
And if I did that
I didn't mean it
You know I never no I couldn't ever leave you
I wouldn't leave you
How could I leave you
And if I did I wouldn't mean it
I wouldn't mean it
I wouldn't I wouldn't I wouldn't I wouldn't
I wouldn't I wouldn't I wouldn't
Mean it
