I Didn't Mean To Hurt You

(album: Paul Weller - 1992)

I've heard them all talking, I guess you have too
Adding flickers to the flame
How I've treated you, yes I take the blame
But let me say that they don't know, the fools don't know
They really don't know that I really didn't mean to hurt you
Oh darling, I didn't mean to hurt you
Please believe me when I say that I didn't mean to hurt you girl

Whatever they tell you, there's more I could say
Lending motion to the wheel
How you built me up when I was falling down, down
But who knows you just might find, just might find
That I'm just your kind and I really didn't mean to hurt you

An tho' I was looking there for something
Some things have no meaning
While I was looking there for something
Everything had gone

And still as I looked, I lived
And still as I lived, I wondered
