I Never Said I Was Deep

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I love your body 'cause I've lost my mind

If you want someone to talk to, you're wasting your time

If you want someone to share your life, you need someone who is alive

And if every relationship is a two-way street, I have been screwing in the back whilst you drive

I never said I was deep, but I am profoundly shallow

My lack of knowledge is vast, and my horizons are narrow

I never said I was big, I never said that I was clever

And if you're waiting to find what's going on in my mind, you could be waiting forever

Forever and ever

I can dance you to the end of the night 'cause I'm afraid of the dark

I have to confess I'm out of my depth

You're going over my head and straight through my heart

Some girls like to play it dirty, some girls want to be your mum

Me, I disrespected you whilst we were waiting for the taxi to come

My morality is shabby, my behaviour unacceptable

No, I'm not looking for a relationship, just a willing receptacle

I never said I was

I never said I was

I never said I was

I never said I was deep, but I am profoundly shallow

My lack of knowledge is vast, and my horizons are narrow

I never said I was big, I never said that I was clever

And if you're waiting to find what's going on in my mind, you could be waiting forever

Forever and ever

I never said I was deep, but I am profoundly shallow

My lack of knowledge is vast, and my horizons are narrow

I never said I was deep
