Not out to Get You

No I am not out to get you
And I never meant to upset you
Baby, baby
And I'm so glad that I've met you
I do not think I will regret you
Baby, baby

Well 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 will buy you a ticket for the boat
To sail away from me

And 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'll 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 grown-ups to play
Baby, baby

And 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 will buy you a ticket for the boat
To sail away from me

And 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'll be free

These days don't know how I'm coping
I've had to sleep with one eye open
Lately, lately
And I pray that drunkenness will keep you
From my throat while I sleep
Lately, baby

And 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 will buy you a ticket for the boat
To sail away from me

And 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'll be free

And 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
And I will leave but get your coat
Baby
