I Know You Didn't Mean It

by Mose Allison

on The Way Of The World (2010)

I know you didn't mean it when you brought me down
It just happened to be beneficial to you
I know you always worked on the first pronoun
And you were just doin' what you had to do

I know you didn't mean it when you stole my coat
It just happened to be the logical one
I know you didn't mean it when you slit my throat
You're just out with the fellas tryin' to have some fun

I know you didn't mean it when you blew us up
You just happened to think it was a good idea
Ungrateful people tried to interrupt
When you were just tryin' to make your viewpoint clear

I know you didn't mean it
I guess I should have seen it
I know you didn't mean it
I know you didn't mean it
