" Don't get me wrong"

"Don't get me wrong" was recorded by the Pretenders in 1986. The tune and the lyrics are brilliant. I thought that this talked about early stages of love and how one feels when they are just getting involved with someone. I always loved the line " I see neon lights Whenever you walk by" This seems to have been written about inconsistency that may occur in a relationship and that one's partner should not be too peturbed as this has to do with moods changing which is perfectly normal and the reference to weather in the lyrics reflects this.

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 a while
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 lets not say so long
It might just be fantastic
Don't get me wrong
