Did You No Wrong Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't mind the things that you say
I don't even mind going out of my way
I try and do these things for you
Why should I do it? Our love is untrue

[Chorus]
Well, I did you no wrong
I did you no wrong
Going out of my head

[Verse 2]
I ain't seen you off the screen
But those films are in my dream
And I can't take much more of you
The bog is no place to imagine your face

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, can't you see I'm out of my head?
Oh, can't you see I'm just a little insane?
Oh, can't you see I'm going out of my head?
Oh, can't you see I'm loony again

[Chorus]
I'm going down, down, down
Out of my head
I did you no wrong
Hey, I did you no wrong
I did you no wrong

[Chorus]
Hey, I did you no wrong
I did you no wrong
Yeah, ha, ha, ha
Going out of my head

[Verse 2]
I ain't seen you off the screen
But those films are in my dream
And I can't take much more of you
The bog is no place to see your face

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, can't you see I'm out of my head?
Oh, can't you see I'm just a little insane?
Oh, can't you see I'm out of my head?
Oh, can't you see I'm loony again?

[Chorus]
I'm going down, down, down, down
Out of my head
Out of my head
Oh, I'm out of my head

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Down
Hey, I did you no wrong
I did you no wrong
Going out of my head

Genius Annotation

“Did you no wrong” was originally co- written by original (pre-sex pistols band member) Wally Nightingale in 1974. The lyrics to the latter were subsequently rewritten by Johnny Rotten and in 1977 the song was released as the b-side to the Sex Pistols second single “God Save The Queen”. It was later included on the compilation album Flogging a Dead Horse and has regularly been played live by the Sex Pistols during their reunion shows in the 90’s and 00’s. The Warner Chappell Music database recognises Nightingale as co-author.
