Don’t Take It Personally Lyrics by The Academic

Sitting Pretty

2022

[Verse 1]
Last night's late conversation's runnin' 'round in my brains
All making sense to me now
I've been thinking about the words you said and the books
You claim you read and I doubt

[Pre-Chorus]
But you and me can't go much further
Never sure but almost certain
Too shy to mention
I can get by on my own
I'm telling you 'cause I can't show
You affection

[Chorus]
Don't take it personally, baby
I don't need you to save me now
Don't take it personally, baby
I never meant to make you cry

[Post-Chorus]
Don't take it personally
Don't take it personally

[Verse 2]
You call up your dad and you tell him what I said
And he's bound to take your side and he'll drive
You to my house and you'll scream 'causе you're allowed
And your neighbours will comе out and that's fine

[Pre-Chorus]
But you and me can't go much further
Never sure but almost certain
Too late to wonder
I wish I could be what you need
And sail away into the sea
And stay there forever

[Chorus]
Don't take it personally, baby
I don't need you to save me now
Don't take it personally, baby
I never meant to make you cry

[Post-Chorus]
Don't take it personally
Don't take it personally
Don't take it personally

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Don't take it personally, baby
I don't need you to save me now
Don't take it personally, baby
I never meant to make you cry

[Post-Chorus]
Don't take it personally
Don't take it personally
Don't take it personally
