Last night's late conversations runnin' 'round in my brains
All making sense to me now
I've been thinking about the words you said and the books
You claim you read and I doubt

But you and me can't go much further
Never sure but almost certain
Too shy to mention
I can get by on my own
I'm telling you 'cause I can't show
You affection

Don't take it personally, baby
I don't need you to save me now
Don't take it personally, baby
I never meant to make you cry

Don't take it personally
Don't take it personally

You call up your dad and you tell him what I said
And he's bound to take your side and he'll drive
You to my house and you'll scream 'cause you're allowed
And your neighbours will come out and that's fine

But you and me can't go much further
Never sure but almost certain
Too late to wonder
I wish I could be what you need
And sail away into the sea
And stay there forever

Don't take it personally, baby
I don't need you to save me now
Don't take it personally, baby
I never meant to make you cry

Don't take it personally
Don't take it personally
Don't take it personally

Don't take it personally, baby
I don't need you to save me now
Don't take it personally, baby
I never meant to make you cry

Don't take it personally
Don't take it personally
Don't take it personally
