I didn't mean to

It seems whenever things go wrong, I'm the one who you accuse
Sometimes I'm blamed for accidents and things that I just didn't do.
I am very often guilty, it's true I do like to have fun,
But usually I didn't mean to do the things you've said I've done.

I didn't mean to break the window or sit down on the chocolate cake
I didn't mean to spill my grape juice, can't a kid make a mistake?
I didn't mean to forget my homework, I didn't mean to break the jar
Or watch TV when you said not to or run down Grandma in Daddy's car.

I didn't mean to hit my sister, I didn't mean to knock her down
I didn't mean to tie her up and hold her mouth when she came 'round.
I didn't mean to saw the table or seal up the bathroom door
I was just experimenting to see what a hammer and nails are for.

I didn't mean to break the lamp, I didn't mean to take so long,
I didn't mean to shave the kitty, I now know that was very wrong
Circumstances have been better, I didn't mean it--isn't that clear?
But your two days late to take me home hope you didn't mean to leave me here
