Written by elton john Released as a uk single in 1968 I didn't mean to hurt you You know it's just my way Those things that i said yesterday Were things i shouldn't say Although you're blue Just one thing i want you to do Just forget all those things That i said about you 'cause i've been loving you baby Loving you baby for a long time And if you go away I just won't know what to do Yes i've been loving you baby Loving you baby for a long time And you know in your heart That i'll always worship you I couldn't bear to see you go Oh no no no no So don't you feel sad It's not the thing to do Because i worry If i know you're feeling blue Please put your tears away So nobody can see 'cause the last thing i want Is for you to cry over me
