Come on.
"Come on" is something to say when you're trying to persuade someone:
You also say "Come on!" when someone is upset or angry, and you're trying to get them to calm down:
Come on. Don't talk that way. Of course I love you.
Come on. Let's stop fighting, and sit down and talk about this.
I didn't mean it that way. / I didn't mean it like that.
Use this expression when someone has misunderstood what you wanted to say. You should especially say this when you say something in a friendly, innocent way, but someone gets offended by it. Here's another example:
B: Oh, thanks a lot! (Sarcastically)
A: No, I didn't mean it that way. I meant that you sound like you have a cold or something.
The phrases "I didn't mean it that way" and "I didn't mean it like that" are pretty much the same.
