Don't Get Me Wrong

I can tell by your expression That there's something in the air You think I'm holdin' out on you You think that I don't care Oh, no, don't get me wrong I wouldn't want to hurt you And maybe times I come on strong It's only self-defense I can't deny that sometimes I appear so cold and heartless Then you become suspicious 'Cause you can't make any sense out of me Every time we talk now It just ends up in a fight It starts off in the morning And it goes on through the night Oh, no, don't get me wrong I wouldn't want to hurt you And maybe times I come on strong It's only self-defense I can't deny that sometimes I appear so cold and heartless Then you become suspicious 'Cause you can't make any sense out of me You say that I'm a stranger And you don't know me anymore And I try not to listen 'Cause I've heard it all before Tell me what it is you want And I'll make it all come true 'Cause I can't talk to anyone If I can't talk to you Oh, no, don't get me wrong I wouldn't want to hurt you And maybe times I come on strong It's only self-defense I can't deny that sometimes I appear so cold and heartless Then you become suspicious 'Cause you can't make any sense out of me Oh, no, don't get me wrong Oh, no, don't get me wrong
