Not Out To Get You

No, I am not out to get you

And I never meant to upset you, baby, baby

And I'm so glad that I met you

I do not think I will regret you, baby, baby

No, I am not out to get you

If you wanna leave then I must let you, baby

So take your hands from 'round my throat

I'll buy you a ticket for the boat to sail away from me

Just think how happy you could be

If you were far away from me

You and the friends inside your head

There'd be no need for me to be dead and you'd be free

You are right, I stand corrected

I've been a fool and I've neglected you lately, lately

So you can put your knife away

This is no way for grownups to play, baby, baby

No, I am not out to get you

If you wanna leave then I must let you, baby

So take your hands from 'round my throat

I'll buy you a ticket for the boat to sail away from me

Just think how happy you could be

If you were far away from me

You and the friends inside your head

There'd be no need for me to be dead and you'd be free

These days don't know how I'm coping

I've had to sleep with one eye open lately, lately

I pray that drunkenness will keep

You from my throat while I sleep lately, lately

No, I am not out to get you

If you wanna leave then I must let you, baby

So take your hands from 'round my throat

I'll buy you a ticket for the boat to sail away from me

Think how happy you could be

If you were far away from me

You and the friends inside your head

There'd be no need for me to be dead

Just think how happy you could be

If you were far away from me

You and the friends inside your head

Yeah, there'd be no need for me to be dead and you'd be free

No, I am not out to get you

If you wanna leave I must let you, baby
