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
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
