[Jimmy Early:] I meant you no harm

I never meant to make you cry

You were the only one I've ever loved in my life

And though its hard for me to show it

I have to let you know it

Cuz darling I love you more each day

But the words got in my way

Oh I meant you no harm

And I would die

If you ever said goodbye

I love you, I love you

I meant you no harm

I never never meant to make you cry

You are the only one I'll ever love in my life
