Pretenders – Don’t Get Me Wrong

Don’t get me wrong

If I’m looking kind of dazzled

I see neon lights

Whenever you walk by

Don’t get me wrong

If you say hello and I take a ride

Upon a sea where the mystic moon

Is playing havoc with the tide

Don’t get me wrong

Don’t get me wrong

If I’m acting so distracted

I’m thinking about the fireworks

That go off when you smile

Don’t get me wrong

If I split like light refracted

I’m only off to wander

Across a moonlit mile

Once in awhile

Two people meet

Seemingly for no reason

They just pass on the street

Suddenly thunder, showers everywhere

Who can explain the thunder and rain

But there’s something in the air

Don’t get me wrong

If I come and go like fashion

I might be great tomorrow

But hopeless yesterday

Don’t get me wrong

If I fall in the ‘mode of passion’

It might be unbelievable

But let’s not say so long

It might just be fantastic

Don’t get me wrong
