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
