Lyrics

[Verse 1]

When I took you out

I knew what you were all about

But when I did

I didn't mean to turn you on

[Verse 2]

Now I bring you home

You tell me the night's not enough for you

I'm sorry, baby

I didn't mean to turn you on

[Verse 3]

Whoa, I didn't mean to turn you on

[Verse 4]

You read me wrong

I wasn't tryin' to lead you on

Not like you think

I didn't mean to turn you on

[Verse 5]

I know you

Expected a one night's stand

When I refused

I knew you wouldn't understand

I'm sorry, baby

I didn't mean to turn you on

[Verse 6]

I told you twice

I was only tryin' to be nice

Only tryin' to be nice, ooh

I didn't mean to turn you on

[Verse 7]

Hey, now why should I

Feel guilty 'cause I won't give

Guilty cause I won't give in?

I didn't mean to turn you on

[Verse 8]

Ooh, I didn't mean to turn you on

[Verse 9]

When I took you out

I knew what you were all about

But when I did

I didn't mean to turn you on

Ooh, I didn't mean to turn you on

[Verse 10]

I didn't mean to turn you on

I didn't mean to turn you on

I didn't mean to turn you on

I didn't mean to turn you on

[Verse 11]

I didn't mean to turn you on

I didn't mean to turn you on

I didn't mean to turn you on

I didn't mean to turn you on

[Verse 12]

I didn't mean to turn you on

I didn't mean to turn you on

I didn't mean to turn you on
