Lyrics:

(John David) When you say those words, those three little words You're in at the deep end Give up the night times, give up the high times Give up the weekend Give up the chance to be your own man Let the feeling take over The only way out is to lie if you can But you don't have the knack And you'll go crawling back, saying I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it I didn't mean to say what I said when I said I didn't mean it I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it I didn't mean to say what I said it was only a game I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it I didn't mean to tell you in so many words, I didn't mean it I felt tied down, my pride down That I put that lie down The prize now for you is me Well I was like you and all I could do was Give up and surrender The people can trace what they did in my face But they're just pretenders They told me mercenary action today Is a line as simple and pure But what if you found you made a mistake The medicine's worse than the cure And you'll be back for sure, saying I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it I didn't mean to say what I said when I said I didn't mean it I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it I didn't mean to say what I said it was only a game I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it I didn't mean to tell you in so many words, I didn't mean it I felt tied down, my pride down That I put that lie down The prize now for you is me Give up the chance to be your own man Let the feeling take over The only way out is to lie if you can But you don't have the knack And you'll go crawling back, saying I didn't mean it,
