[Verse 1: Ashley Cooke]
I don't mean to pick a fight
It probably ain't my place
'Cause you ain't gonna like
What I've got to say
I don't mean to wreck your night
Just tryin' to do a favor
Yeah, you might trust him now
But you might thank me later

[Pre-Chorus: Ashley Cooke, Both]
'Cause when there's smoke, there's always a fire
And he's got the lighter

[Chorus: Both, Ashley Cooke]
This ain't me bein' mean, girl
I just hate to see a good heart hangin' on a string, girl
It sure looks a lot like love, but what you don't see, girl
Is all those cards slid so far up his sleeve, girl
When he says you're the only one, take it from me
Yeah, it's just another thing that he doesn't mean, girl

[Post-Chorus: Ashley Cooke]
Oh, that he doesn't mean, girl

[Verse 2: Colbie Caillat, Ashley Cooke]
He's told me all about you
Yeah, I'm sure he skipped some things
No, he's really changin'
Oh, yeah, that's what he told me
[Pre-Chorus: Both]
Think what you wanna think

[Chorus: Both, Ashley Cooke]
This ain't me bein' mean, girl
I just hate to see a good heart hangin' on a string, girl
It sure looks a lot like love, but what you don't see, girl
Is all those cards slid so far up his sleeve, girl
When he says you're the only one, take it from me
Yeah, it's just another thing that he doesn't mean, girl

[Post-Chorus: Both, Colbie Caillat]
Oh, that he doesn't mean, girl, no

[Bridge: Colbie Caillat, Ashley Cooke, Both]
He didn't mean to drink too much again
And keep me up 'til 3 AM
And when he wakes up to
Somebody that ain't you
He didn't mean to

[Chorus: Ashley Cooke, Both]
This ain't me bein' mean, girl
I just hate to see someone get hurt like me, girl
It sure looks a lot like love, but what you don't see, girl
Is all those cards slid so far up his sleeve, girl
When he says you're the only one, take it from me
Yeah, it's just another thing that he doesn't mean, girl
[Post-Chorus: Ashley Cooke]
Mm, that he doesn't mean, girl
