Sometimes I think you might
But you break down and cry,
But it seems there's just no
I've read the rules but I'm still
the fool that I've always been
you won't find me giving in
You know I don't mean to hurt you,
You know I don't mean to hurt you,
But I'm doing the best I can
No, I don't mean to hurt you
Sometimes it's like I'm reading
But I get it wrong almost
But you shut me right out
I read the rules but I'm still the fool
Step by step in this messed up
world that we're living in
You know I don't mean to hurt you
You know I don't mean to hurt you
But I'm doing the best I can
You know I don't mean to hurt you
I don't wanna bring it down
I don't mean to hurt you,
You know I don't mean to hurt you,
but I'm doing the best I can
You know I don't mean to hurt you,
I don't mean to hurt you, just an ordinary man
