Song Lyrics

I'm not saying that I love you
I'm not saying that I care if you love me
I'm not saying that I care
I'm not saying I'll be there when you want me

I can't give my heart to you
Or tell you that I'd sing your name up to the sky
I can't lay the promise down
That I'll always be around when you need me

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

I'm not saying 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 saying I'll be true but I'll try

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

I'm not saying 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 saying 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 saying I'll be true but I'll try

Gordon Lightfoot
