Written by elton john Released as a uk single in 1968 I didn't mean to hurt you You know it's just my way Those things that I said yesterday Were things I shouldn't say Although you're blue Just one thing I want you to do Just forget all those things That I said about you 'cause I've been loving you baby Loving you baby for a long time And if you go away I just won't know what to do Yes I've been loving you baby Loving you baby for a long time And you know in your heart That I'll always worship you I couldn't bear to see you go Oh no no no no So don't you feel sad It's not the thing to do Because I worry If I know you're feeling blue Please put your tears away So nobody can see 'cause the last thing I want Is for you to cry over me
