But Like You Heard Me Say




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 aging head
But like you heard me said
Not guilty.

Not guilty
For being on your street
Getting underneath your feet

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.
