Lyrics I'm Not Sayin' - Gordon Lightfoot

I'm Not Sayin'

I’m not sayin' that I’ll love you
I’m not sayin' that I’ll care
If you love me
I’m not sayin' that I’ll care
I’m not sayin' that I’ll be there
When you want me
I can’t give my heart to you
Or tell you that I’ll sing your name
Up to the sky
I can’t lay the promise down
That I’ll always be around
When you need me
Now I may not be alone each time you see me
Along the street or in a small café
But still I won’t deny or mistreat you
Baby, if you’ll let me have my way
I’m not sayin' I’ll be sorry
For the things that I might say
That make you cry
I can’t say I’ll always do
The things you want me to
I’m not sayin' I’ll be true
But I’ll try
Now I may not be alone each time you see me
Or show up when I promise that I would
But still I won’t deny you or mistreat you
Baby, if you loved me like you should
I’m not sayin' I’ll be sorry
For all the things that I might say
That make you cry
I can’t say I’ll always do
The things you want me to
I’m not sayin' I’ll be true
But I’ll try
I can’t say I’ll always do
The things you want me to
I’m not sayin' I’ll be true
But I’ll try
