i never meant to trip the minefield hidden here in paradise (put stink weed in the bouquet) i never meant to fire a lethal weapon or to terrorize (put poison in the buffet) (if) i played my roll as dipolomat you knew it wasn't just an act i couldn't stand to stand in back a faded little wallflower i've maybe taken too much on naiveté and youth is gone but at least the juice is still turned on i'm dancing on a live wire i've summoned up a thunder cloud but i always meant to do you proud still certain things are not allowed like setting off a wildfire wildfire yeah yeah yeah yeah … uh huh … i never meant to cut my tender fingers on your angel hair (put the sawdust in the gas tank) i never meant to hide tacks in the cushion of your mercy chair (make a brother walk the gangplank) (if) i played my roll as diplomat you knew it wasn't just an act i couldn't stand to stand in back a faded little wallflower i've maybe taken too much on naiveté and youth is gone but at least the juice is still turned on i'm dancing on a live wire i've summoned up a thunder cloud but i always meant to do you proud still certain things are not allowed like setting off a wildfire wildfire i never meant to do you wrong (i never meant to trip the minefield hidden here in paradise) i never meant to cause anybody's harm (i never meant to fire a lethal weapon or to terrorize) i never meant to cause you any pain (i never meant to cut my tender fingers on your angel hair) i never meant to bring you any shame (i never meant to hide tacks in the cushion of your mercy chair) (if) i played my roll as diplomat you knew it wasn't just an act i couldn't stand to stand in back a faded little wallflower i've maybe taken too much on naiveté and youth is gone but at least the juice is still turned on i'm dancing on a live wire i've summoned up a thunder cloud but i always meant to do you proud still certain things are not allowed like setting off a wildfire wildfire…
