Twitter: https://twitter.com/thepretendershq Lyrics: Don't get me wrong If I'm looking kind of dazzled I see neon lights Whenever you walk by Don't get me wrong If you say hello and I take a ride Upon a sea where the mystic moon Is playing havoc with the tide Don't get me wrong Don't get me wrong If I'm acting so distracted I'm thinking about the fireworks That go off when you smile Don't get me wrong If I split like light refracted I'm only off to wander Across a moonlit mile Once in awhile Two people meet Seemingly for no reason They just pass on the street Suddenly thunder, showers everywhere Who can explain the thunder and rain But there's something in the air Don't get me wrong If I come and go like fashion I might be great tomorrow But hopeless yesterday Don't get me wrong If I fall in the 'mode of passion' It might be unbelievable But let's not say so long It might just be fantastic Don't get me wrong #Pretenders #DontGetMeWrong
