WRONG IDEAS
(Shel Silverstein)


Brenda Lee - 1974



Well alright, you can sit down, but just for a minute
I'm not as lonely as I might appear
But you've got a friendly smile, so we can sit and talk awhile
But don't go gettin' any wrong ideas

A drink? Well thank you no, I never touch it
Well, well maybe just once little glass of beer
And a dance just might be fun, but I can only stay for one
So don't go gettin' any wrong ideas

Don't go thinking 'cause I'm drinking
One last drink with you
That I'm the kind to lose my mind
The way some women do

Well here we are, yes that's my house there on the corner
No you can't come up, let's say goodnight right here
Well, maybe just a minute or so, but then you'll really have to go
So don't go gettin' any wrong ideas
No, darlin', don't go gettin' any wrong ideas
