The Academic: Don't Take It Personally

Last night’s late conversations running round in my brains all making sense to me now
I’ve been thinking about the words you said and the books you claim you read and I doubt
You and me can’t go much further,
Never sure but almost certain, to shy to mention
I can get by on my own I’m telling you because I can’t show you affection

Don’t take it personally baby I don’t need you to save me now
Don’t take it personally baby I never meant to make you cry

Don’t take it personally
Don’t take it personally

You call up your dad and you tell him what I said and he’s bound to take your side and he’ll drive
you to my house and you’ll scream because you’re allowed and your neighbours will come out and that’s fine

You and me can’t go much further
Never sure but almost certain too late to wonder
I wish I could be what you need and sail away into the sea and stay there forever

Don’t take it personally baby I don’t need you to save me now
Don’t take it personally baby I never meant to make you cry

Don’t take it personally
Don’t take it personally
Don’t take it personally

Don’t take it personally baby I don’t need you to save me now
Don’t take it personally baby I never meant to make you cry

Don’t take it personally
Don’t take it personally
Don’t take it personally
