Laura Nyro I Never Meant To Hurt You Lyrics

I never meant to hurt you
I'm not that way at all
please believe the words
 of a heart
a heart that seems so small
I never meant to hurt you
I guess I lost my place
please believe the words
 of a heart
a heart that hides its face
Why do I do things
I never mean to do?
Why did I speak so carelessly
when all that I felt was love
 for you
and I swear
I never meant to hurt you
I've got to make you know
please believe the words
 of a heart
a heart that didn't show
I never meant to hurt you
I only meant to love you it's true
and when I saw you crying
I cried too
