I Didn't Mean It That Way Lyrics

It's been a long time coming
I've been a long time gone
I didn't know I was missing
Until you said I was gone
We spent the whole night dancing
Until the lights went out
I never gave you a chance
Cos I was always in doubt

Oh, what a joy heaven is on its way
And I will spend a whole life saying:
I didn't mean it that way

I took the road much travelled
No troubles on my back
I never knew I was straying
Cos I was never on track

Oh, what a joy heaven is on its way
And I will spend a whole life saying:
I didn't mean it that way
