I'm Not Sayin' Lyrics

I'm not sayin' that I love you
I'm not sayin' that I care
If you love me
I'm not sayin' that I care
I'm not sayin' I'll be there
If you want me

I can't give my heart to you
I tell you that I'll sing your name
Until the sky
I can't promise to be down
And I'll always be around if you need me

May not be alone each time you see me
Out in the street or in a small cafe
Still I won't deny
Or mistreat you
Baby if you let me have my way

I'm not sayin' I'll be sorry
For all the things that I might say
That make you cry
I can't say I'll always do
The things you want me to
I'm not sayin' I'll be true but I'll try

I may not be home when you see me
Or show up when I promised I would
Said I won't deny or mistreat you
Baby if you love me like you should

I'm not sayin' I'll be sorry
For all the things that I might say
That make you cry
I can't say I'll always do
The things you want me to
I'm not sayin I'll be true but I'll try

I can't say I'll always do
The things you want me to
I'm not sayin' I'll be true but I'll try

Don't try

Can't Hardly Wait

I'm not sayin' that I love you
I'm not sayin' that I care
If you love me
I'm not sayin' that I care
I'm not sayin' I'll be there
If you want me

I can't give my heart to you
I tell you that I'll sing your name
Until the sky
I can't promise to be down
And I'll always be around if you need me

May not be alone each time you see me
Out in the street or in a small cafe
Still I won't deny
Or mistreat you
Baby if you let me have my way

I'm not sayin' I'll be sorry
For all the things that I might say
That make you cry
I can't say I'll always do
The things you want me to
I'm not sayin' I'll be true but I'll try

I may not be home when you see me
Or show up when I promised I would
Said I won't deny or mistreat you
Baby if you love me like you should

I'm not sayin' I'll be sorry
For all the things that I might say
That make you cry
I can't say I'll always do
The things you want me to
I'm not sayin I'll be true but I'll try

I can't say I'll always do
The things you want me to
I'm not sayin' I'll be true but I'll try

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
