I Never Meant It That Way*

I hope you hear me
When I say
Baby, I never meant it
That way.

All the lonely days

And empty nights.
Nothing helps
When nothing’s right.

Baby, believe me
When I say
I just never meant it
That way.

Here I am, now

Down on my knees
Begging you, baby
Come back to me, please.

I hope you hear me

When I say
Baby, I never meant it
That way.

Baby, Baby, I never meant it

That way…
Baby, I never meant it
That way.


*Sometimes I hear lyrics that would seem to suggest melody. But I am the least musical poet on the planet. I love music...just can't be its originator. At any rate, here it is.
