Artist/Band: The Beatles
Lyrics for Song: Not Guilty
Lyrics for Album: Anthology (Part 3) [1996]



Not guilty

for getting in your way

while you're trying to steal the day.

Not guilty

and I'm not here for the rest,

I'm not trying to steal your vest.



I am not trying to be smart,

I only want what I can get.

I'm really sorry for your ageing head.

But like you heard me said:

not guilty.



No use handing me a writ

while I'm trying to do my bit.



I don't expect to take your heart.

I only want what I can get.

I'm really sorry that you're underfed.

But like you heard me said:

not guilty.



Not guilty

for looking like a freak,

making friends with every Sikh.

Not guilty

for leading you astray

on the road to Mandalay.



I won't upset the apple cart.

I only want what I can get.

I'm really sorry that you've been misled.

But like you heard me said:

not guilty.
