Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong
Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong
Please, let me explain
When I open my mouth, and the words come out
I often don't mean what I say
When I try to explain, what I wanted to say
It still don't come out right
Well the doctor explained, that the cause of my pain
Was my foot stuck in my mouth
But what I meant to say, before I tried to explain
Is that I think you're right
Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong
Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong
Please, let me explain
When I knocked on your door, at a quarter to four
I sure deserved what you said
I made a mistake, when I came home late
I swear I won't do it no more
But excuse me please, I lost my keys
I just want to go to bed
Please let me in, I won't do it again
I won't be late no more
Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong
Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong
Please, let me explain
At a quarter to ten, I was out with my friends
Who invited me out for just one
The time flew fast, talking about the past
And we decided to have one more
We were talking about the fishing
And the good times we were missing
And how we don't go no more
When the daylight came, I knew it was late
That's when I came back home
Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong
Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong
Please, let me in
