I'm  sittin' here all  by myself
 Just tryin'  to think of something to  do
Tryin'  to think of something, anything
 Just to keep  me from thinking of you
But  you know it's not working  out
 'cause you're all  that's on my mind
One  thought of you is all  it takes
 To leave the  rest of the world behind
Well  I didn't mean  for this to go  as far as it did
And  I didn't mean  to get so close  and share what we did
And  I didn't mean  to fall in love,  but I did
And  you didn't mean to love me back  but I know you did
I'm  sittin' here tryin' to convince  myself
That  you're not the  one for me
But  the more I think, the  less I believe it
And  the more I want you here with  me
You  know the holidays are  coming up
I  don't want to spend them alone
Memories  of Christmas time  with you
Will  just kill me if I'm on my own
Well  I didn't mean  for this to go  as far as it did
And  I didn't mean  to get so close  and share what we did
And  I didn't mean  to fall in love,  but I did
And  you didn't mean to love me back
I  know it's not the smartest thing  to do
we  just can't seem to get it right
But  what I wouldn't give  to have one more chance tonight

I'm  sittin' here tryin' to  entertain myself  with this old guitar
But  with all my inspiration  goneit's not  getting me very far
 (normal)
I  look around my room and  everything I see  reminds me of you
Oh  please, baby won't you  take my hand
we've  got nothing  left to prove
Well  I didn't mean  for this to go  as far as it did
And  I didn't mean  to get so close  and share what we did
And  I didn't mean  to fall in love,  but I did
And  you didn't mean to love me back  but I know you did
 END CHORUS
And  I didn't mean to meet  you then we were just kids
And  I didn't mean to give  you chills the way that  I kiss
And  I didn't mean  to fall in love, but I  did
And  you didn't mean to love  me back but I know you  did
Don't  say you didn't love  me back 'cause you know you did
No,  you didn't mean to love  me back but you did
