I got misled, mistook, discard Anything that I said See I'm not the type to call you up drunk But I've got some lies to tell She hates her work but loves to flirt It's a shame she don't work with me She gets uptight and don't like when I'm gone But she won't let on to me I said, "I'm only looking out for you" She said, "It's obvious that's a lie" But I only ever put out for you You know it's obvious you don't try I got mistook and took the scent And it's not as if you didn't notice That I tried to steer you clear of this place And wound up with nothing to show for it I end up like that from me She said, "You never got that from me" She said, "You never got that from me" But I feel you got that look from me I said, "I'm only looking out for you" She said, "It's obvious that's a lie" I only ever put out for you You know it's obvious you don't try I said, "I'm only looking out for you" She said, "It's obvious that's a lie" I only ever put out for you You know it's obvious you don't try I got misled, mistook, discard Anything that I said See I'm not the type to call you up drunk But I've got some lies to tell
