I Didn't Mean To Love You, lyric by Rick Springfield

from the songs album Beginnings

Hey look what you've done
Ain't cha ever going to help me
Cause now your love's the only one
I tried so hard to break it

Now that i'm loving you
1200 miles is a long long way
And my loves gonna grow
Every inch of the way

But i didn't mean to love you
I only meant to see
How far you'd go
And i didn't mean to love you
I tried to leave ya
And my heart said no
Oh no

Hey what can i say
You know i didn't mean to fall for you

Show me, show me, show me
What can i do
I don't even know
If you're love is true

But i know this
No matter how much i want to try
I'll never stop loving you
I need you
Though you're just 17
And my loves gonna grow every night every day

But i didn't mean to love you
I only meant to see
How far you'd go
And i didn't mean to love you
I tried to leave ya
And my heart said no
Oh no
