Not What I Had In Mind - Alternate Version

Just thought I'd have a little fun and paint the town

I always said someday I'll walk the line

But now she's gone and I'm the bluest guy around

And that's not exactly what I had in mind

I thought that I could play the field and be a clown

I broke the heart that loved me many times

Yes, I know that I'm the biggest fool in town

And that's not exactly what I had in mind

I didn't mean for things to get so out of hand

I always meant to make it up in time

But now she's gone, she hates the very sight of me

And that's not exactly what I had in mind

I told myself, "Go play around you're young and free"

Too late I found that I was oh so blind

I lost a love I never did deserve at all

But that's not exactly what I had in mind

No, that's not exactly what I had in mind
