Lyrics

(Rafferty/egan)

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

(Chorus)
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

(Chorus)

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

(Fiddle solo)

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

(Chorus)

Oh, no, don't get me wrong..
Oh, no, don't get me wrong..
