I Was Just Being Friendly Lyrics - John Entwistle

Now, I was just being friendly 

No need to act like that 

Don't call that policeman girl 

I take what I said back 

How was I to know that you weren't that kind of girl 

It's kind of hard to tell, nowadays anyway. 

Can't we talk this over, come here 

I'm sorry if you've been offended 

It wasn't what I'd intended 

I take back every word I said. 

I was looking for someone to tell my troubles to 

That's all I wanted to do, honestly 

I'm a family man and my family mustn't know 

Where I go in the evenings. 

Now, I was just being friendly 

No need to act this way 

All I did was ask you 

How much I'd have to pay 

How was I to know that you weren't that kind of girl 

It's kind of hard to tell, nowadays anyway. 

Can't we talk this over, come here 

I'm sorry if you've been offended 

It wasn't what I'd intended 

I take back every word I said. 

I was looking for someone to tell my troubles to 

That's all I wanted to do, honestly 

I'm a family man and my family mustn't know 

Where I go in the evenings. 

(Synthesizer and Guitar Solo) 

I was looking for someone to tell my troubles to 

That's all I wanted to do, honestly 

I'm a family man and my family mustn't know 

Where I go in the evenings. 

Now, I was just being friendly 

Wish you could understand 

This wasn't meant to happen 

This wasn't what I'd planned 

How was I to know that you weren't that kind of girl 

It's kind of hard to tell, nowadays anyway.
