I didn't mean to be untrue didn't mean to cheat on you
At the time it didn't seem so wrong
I didn't mean to be untrue but he reminded me of you
And you know you've been gone so long
I didn't mean it I didn't mean it oh my darling I know I've done you wrong
I didn't mean it I didn't mean it even though you've been gone so long
[ steel ] I didn't mean to bring you shame didn't mean to hurt your name
At the time it didn't seem so wrong
I know that you've been lonely too and you've never been untrue
Even though you've been gone so long
I didn't mean it I didn't mean it…
Even though you've been gone so long even though you've been gone so long
