I Didn't Mean It

(Album: Porter Wagoner In Person - 1964)

I didn't mean to be untrue didn't mean to cheat on you
At the time it didn't seem so wrong
I didn't mean to be untrue but she reminded me of you
And you know I've been gone so long

I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
Oh my darling, I know I've done you wrong
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
Even though you've been gone so long

I didn't mean to bring you shame didn't mean to hurt your name
At the time it didn't seem so wrong
I know that you've been lonely too so I'm not blaming you
'Cause I know I've been gone so long

I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
Oh my darling, I know I've done you wrong
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
Even though you've been gone so long
