I was on my own I couldn’t misbehave Don’t be home too late Figured you’d forgive me if I stay Just say “I’m sorry babe” You send me on my way Don’t want you leaving I just don’t understand You look at me like you don’t know who I am I want you back but I don’t know what I said Didn’t mean to do you wrong I was out of my head Time and time again I know it’s all my fault Tell all your friends don’t see me anymore I didn’t cross the line, it’s not what you think you saw yea You don’t believe me say you’ve heard it all before Don’t want you leaving I just don’t understand You look at me like you don’t know who I am I want you back but I don’t know what I said Didn’t mean to do you wrong I was out of my head Just know I’m sorry babe Don’t send me on my way (no no no) Don’t want you leaving I just don’t understand (no) You look at me like you don’t know who I am (you don’t know who I am no) I want you back but I don’t know what I said (I don’t know what I said no no) Didn’t mean to do you wrong I was out of my head no (my head) Oh I was out of my head
