Didn't Mean A Thing Lyrics

Hey mister why'd you play that song

Until I heard it I was gettin' along

Now why'd you have to take me to that place

Make me think about her smilin' face

How she used to make me laugh out loud

Kiss me in the middle of a downtown crowd

Talk dirty to me on the phone

And then I woke up alone



And it's like water to a drownin' man

An IOU written in sand

Tryin' to beat three aces with a couple of kings

Yeah, a round trip on a runaway train

A handshake from Saddam Husein

Sweet dreams of love and a wedding ring

Didn't mean a thing, it didn't mean a thing, oh, no



Said she was the answer to my prayers

And as she ran her fingers through my hair

She told me that I was second to none

She promised me the stars, one by one

She had me goin' from the day we met

Plans were made, the date was set

Now it was picture perfect like Barbie and Ken

But this is now, that was then



And it's like water to a drownin' man

An IOU written in sand

Tryin' to beat three aces with a couple of kings

Yeah, a round trip on a runaway train

A handshake from Saddam Husein

Sweet dreams of love and a wedding ring

Didn't mean a thing, it didn't mean a thing, oh, no



-- Instrumental --



It's like water to a drownin' man

An IOU written in sand

Tryin' to beat three aces with a couple of kings

Yeah, a round trip on a runaway train

A handshake from Saddam Husein

Sweet dreams of love and a wedding ring

Didn't mean a thing, it didn't mean a thing, oh, no

Your cheque's in the mail, it didn't mean a thing

Mr. Clinton said he did not inhale, that didn't mean a

thing

Didn't mean a thing,
