i m not sayin

Gordon Lightfoot

I?m not sayin? that I love you
I?m not sayin? that I?ll care if you love me
I?m not sayin? that I?ll care
I?m not sayin? I?ll be there when you want me
I can?t give my heart to you
Or tell you that I?ll sing your name up to the sky
I can?t lay the promise down
That I?ll always be around when you need me

Now I may not be alone each time you see me
Along the street or in a small cafe
But still I won?t deny or mistreat you
Baby if you let me have my way

I?m not sayin? I?ll be sorry
For all the things that I might say that make you cry
I can?t say I?ll always do
The things you want me to
I?m not sayin? I?ll be true but I?ll try

Now I may not be alone each time you see me
Or show up when I promised that I would
But still I won?t deny or mistreat you
Baby if you love me like you should

I?m not sayin? I?ll be sorry
For all the things that I might say that make you cry
I can?t say I?ll always do
The things you want me to
I?m not sayin? I?ll be true but I?ll try
I can?t say I?ll always do
The things you want me to
I?m not sayin? I?ll be true but I?ll try
