Don't Get Me Wrong
Frank Black · Other Songs - Frank Black
Just to understand a way
We may be stunted by the madness we see
Don't let it slip away
You may resist
I may not regret
We may be happy
For a time
Don't get me wrong
I'm only stuck in this song for so long
Don't wait too long
I'm only nailed to this wall for so long
Don't wait too long
I'm only nailed to this cross for so long
For so long
Pay no attention to the man you see
Don't listen to a word I say
There may come a time you cannot see
Don't let it slip away
You may resist
I may not regret
We may be happy
For a time
Don't get me wrong
I'm only stuck in this song for so long
Don't wait too long
I'm only nailed to this wall for so long
Don't wait too long
I'm only nailed to this cross for so long
For so long
