But That's Not What I Said

Why are you getting all defensive

You think that I'm on the offensive.

But that's not what I said.

You think that I am blaming you

that all our weekend plans fell through.

But that's not what I said.

You think that I don't like to wait

and that I think you're kinda late.

But that's not what I said.

You 'pologize for what you wear,

assume that I don't like your hair,

but that's not what I said.

There you go, do it by yourself,

you think that I don't want to help.

But that's not what I said.

And when I turn and walk away

you think I'm having a bad day.

But that's not what I said.

You think it's not my favorite date

when I don't touch what's on my plate.

But that's not what I said.

You say "Well here is the receipt,"

as if the gift is not that neat.

But that's not what I said.

It seems like you're always assuming.

You act like some big news is looming.

But that's not what I said.

Sometimes you look and sigh at me

like I won't ever let you be.

But that's not what I said.

You know that's not what I said,

and if my mind could be read,

oh you'd know, you know.

But that's not what I said.
