Didn't Do That - John Martyn

Some kid I met today made mention of your name

He told me that he’d seen you at the local fun and games

He said you laughed, when he asked about my health

He told me your arrived alone and split with someone else

You couldn’t do that, wouldn’t do that

Tell me that you, just didn’t think about it

You wouldn’t do that, couldn’t do that

Tell me that it, just didn’t cross your mind

You couldn’t do that, wouldn’t do that

Tell me that you, just didn’t think about it

Not you

So I called you on your private telephone

I was told politely that my lady was not home

You was somewhere foreign, having fun

If I leave my name and number, something might be done

You wouldn’t do that, couldn’t do that

Tell me that you, just didn’t think about it

You couldn’t do that, wouldn’t do that

Tell me that it, just didn’t cross your mind

You wouldn’t do that, couldn’t do that

Tell me that you, just didn’t think about it

Not you, not me, not you, not me

And so I told my friend about your goings on

He told me he was not surprised to find that you had gone

Cause he’d seen you at the airport with your ticket in your hand

Leaving me to dangle like a yo-yo in your hand

You couldn’t do that, wouldn’t do that

Tell me that you, just didn’t think about it

You couldn’t do that, wouldn’t do that

Tell me that it, just didn’t cross your mind

You wouldn’t do that, couldn’t do that

Tell me that you, just didn’t think about it

Oh, not you

Friend I met today made mention of your name

He told me that he’d seen you at the local fun and games

He said you laughed, when he asked about my health

He told me your arrived alone and split with someone else

You couldn’t do that, wouldn’t do that

Tell me that you, just didn’t think about it

You couldn’t do that, wouldn’t do that

Tell me that it, just didn’t cross your mind

You couldn’t do that, wouldn’t do that

Tell me that you, just didn’t think about it

Couldn’t, wouldn’t, shouldn’t, couldn’t, wouldn’t do it to me

Couldn’t shouldn’t wouldn’t, couldn’t, should not do it to a dog

You couldn’t do that, wouldn’t do that

Tell me that you, just didn’t think about it

You wouldn’t do that, couldn’t do it

Tell me that you, just didn’t think about it

You wouldn’t do that, couldn’t do that

Tell me that you, just didn’t think about it

Would not do that to me
