What'd I Say?

What I meant when I said and I think you misheard me Is that the idea was unexpected You see as that wasn't what we were talking about At least it didn't seem to be the case My mind was going in an utterly different direction To continue with what we were talking about I didn't mean to imply that you were anything less than up-front Although it did seem, for a moment, you were going to waffle on the point Or, perhaps, change the direction of the conversation to which I would have no objection Now just give me a moment from the discussion to pour you and I a drink As I know these endeavors tend to be thirsty work And the last thing we need is an interruption, due to a scratchy throat So now that we seem to agree about what it is that we're discussing We shall press on Without the bother of having to discuss what the topic is Although, this does not guarantee the discussion will be Satisfactory to you, or me, or neither or both of us, oh yeah Aah but such is the nature of discourse
