The Beatles lyrics - Not Guilty

album: Anthology (Part 3) (1996)
genre: 

Not guilty 
for getting in your way 
while you're trying to steal the day. 
Not guilty 
and I'm not here for the rest, 
I'm not trying to steal your vest. 

I am not trying to be smart, 
I only want what I can get. 
I'm really sorry for your ageing head. 
But like you heard me said: 
not guilty. 

No use handing me a writ 
while I'm trying to do my bit. 

I don't expect to take your heart. 
I only want what I can get. 
I'm really sorry that you're underfed. 
But like you heard me said: 
not guilty. 

Not guilty 
for looking like a freak, 
making friends with every Sikh. 
Not guilty 
for leading you astray 
on the road to Mandalay. 

I won't upset the apple cart. 
I only want what I can get. 
I'm really sorry that you've been misled. 
But like you heard me said: 
not guilty.
