Some Other Man Instead Lyrics by Spin Doctors

If the River Was Whiskey

0

[Verse 1]
You put me through some heavy weather
Two times and too for good measure
You put me through some heavy weather
Broke my back with a feather
You say you're thinking on me
But you only hurt my head

[Chorus]
When you said you love me
Must have meant some other man instead
When you said you love me
Must have meant some other man instead

[Verse 2]
I missed the boat
Misread the signs
It could be that I walk in the dark
Well, I've been walking the line
You said you'd fix my wagon
But you only broke my bed

[Chorus]
When you said you love me
Must have meant some other man instead, yeah
When you said you love me
Must have meant some other man instead

[Verse 3]
I'm going down to New Orleans
Won't be back 'til fall
And if I do it little better
Won't be back at all
Makes me look a little silly
When you paid the wrong town rent

[Chorus]
When you said you love me
Must have meant some other man instead
When you said you love me
Must have meant some other man instead

[Bridge]
Come on!

[Verse 4]
Let your girlfriends talk about me
Talk about me to the blue
And your handsome fancy new friend
Let him do his talking too
I'm your foolish little nancy boy
Take a bite out of my brain

[Outro]
When you said you love me
Must have meant some other man instead
When you said you love me
Must have meant some other man instead
When you said you love me
Must have meant some other man instead
When you said you love me
Must have meant some other man instead
When you said you love me
Must have meant some other man instead
