Lyrics

Let you take me out

I knew what you were all about

But when I did

I wasn't trying to lead you on

Now you bring me home

And tell me goodnight's not enough for you

I'm sorry, baby

I didn't mean to turn you on

You read me wrong

I wasn't trying to lead you on

Not like you think

I didn't mean to turn you on

You read me wrong (You read me wrong)

I wasn't trying to lead you on

I want a friend

I didn't mean to turn you on

Oh, I didn't mean to turn you on

I know you

Expectin' a one-night stand

When I refuse, I knew you wouldn't understand

I told you twice

I was only trying to be nice

Only trying to be nice

Oh, I didn't mean to turn you on

You read me wrong

I wasn't trying to lead you on

Not like you think

I didn't mean to turn you on

You read me wrong (You read)

I wasn't trying to lead you on (Lead you on)

I want a friend (A friend)

I didn't mean to turn you on

Oh, I didn't mean to turn you on

Turn you on

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

Do, do, do, do, do, baby

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 (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

I didn't mean to turn you on

Oh, I didn't mean to turn you on

Oh, I didn't mean to turn you on

I did, did, I did, did, I did, did

Do, do, do, do, do, baby

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 (I didn't mean to turn you on)

I didn't mean to turn you on

No, I didn't, baby

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

You think that I'm a fool

'Cause I wouldn't play by your rules (I didn't mean to turn you on)

You don't stand a chance

All I want to do is dance with you (I didn't mean to turn you on)

I told you twice

I was only trying to be nice (I didn't mean to turn you on)

I loved you for a friend

But I guess this is the end

Of our relationship

'Cause I didn't mean to turn you on

I didn't mean to turn you on (You know it)

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

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

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

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

I didn't mean to turn you on

I didn't mean to turn you on

I didn't mean to turn you on
