Stealers Wheel Don't Get Me Wrong lyrics

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
