Not Out to Get You Lyrics

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
(Chorus/Bridge)
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

Repeat bridge/chorus

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 lately ... lately
Repeat bridge/chorus

No, I am not out to get you
If you wanna leave I must let you, baby
So take your hands from 'round my throat
And I will even get your coat ... baby
