Lyrics Don't Get Me Wrong - Stealers Wheel

Don't Get Me Wrong

I can tell by your expression that there’s something in the air
You think I’m holdin' out on you, you think that I don’t care.
Oh no, don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t want to hurt you.
And maybe times I come on strong;
it’s only self-defense.
I can’t deny that sometimes I appear so cold and heartless,
Then you become suspicious 'cause you can’t make any sense out of me.
Every time we talk now it just ends up in a fight,
It starts off in the morning and it goes on through the night.
You say that I’m a stranger, and you don’t know me anymore,
And I try not to listen 'cause I’ve heard it all before.
Tell me what it is you want and I’ll make it all come true,
'Cause I can’t talk to anyone if I can’t talk to you.
Oh, no, don’t get me wrong…
Oh, no, don’t get me wrong…
