I Was Only Joking

Ever since I was a kid at school

  • Ever since I was a kid at school
  • I messed around with all the rules
  • Apologised then realised
  • I'm not different after all
  • Me and the boys thought we had it sussed
  • Valentinos all of us
  • My dad said we looked ridiculous
  • But boy we broke some hearts
  • In and out of jobs' running free
  • Waging war with society
  • Dumb blank faces stare back at me
  • But nothing ever changed
  • Promises made in the heat of the night
  • Creeping home before it got too light
  • I wasted all that precious time
  • And blamed it on the wine
  • I was only joking my dear
  • Looking for a way to hide my fear
  • What kind of fool was I
  • I could never win
  • Never found a compromise
  • Collected lovers like butterflies
  • Illusions of that grand first prize
  • Are slowly wearing thin
  • Susy baby you were good to me
  • Giving love unselfishly
  • But you took it all too seriously
  • I guess it had to end
  • I was only joking my dear
  • Looking for a way to hide my fear
  • What kind of fool was I
  • I could never win
  • Now you ask me if I'm sincere
  • That's the question that I always fear
  • Verse seven is never clear
  • But I'll tell you what you want to hear
  • I try to give you all you want
  • But giving love is not my strongest point
  • If that's the case it's pointless going on
  • I'd rather be alone
  • 'Cause what I'm doing must be wrong
  • Pouring my heart out in a song
  • Owning up for prosperity
  • For the whole damn world to see
  • Quietly now while I turn a page
  • Act one is over without costume change
  • The principal would like to leave the stage
  • The crowd don't understand
