I DIDN'T MEAN A WORD I SAID
Jimmy McHugh (m) Harold Adamson (l)   1946

as rec by Ella Fitzgerald & her V-disc Jumpers 
Feb 21st 1946 New York


I didn't mean a word I said,
And if I hurt you, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to lose my head,
And if I made you cry, I'm sorry.

It was just another foolish quarrel,
Won't you end it with a kiss?
And just remember this;
Except the time I said "I love you!",
I didn't mean a word I said,
I didn't mean a word I said!

I didn't mean a word I said,
And if I hurt you, I'm sorry, so so sorry!
I didn't mean to lose my head,
And if I made you cry, I'm sorry.

It was just another foolish quarrel,
Won't you end it with a kiss?
And just remember this;
Except the time I said "I love you!",
I didn't mean a word I said,
I didn't mean a word I said!
