I Was Only Joking
Ever since I was a kid at schoolI messed around with all the rulesApologised then realisedI'm not different after all
Me and the boys thought we had it sussedValentinos all of usMy dad said we looked ridiculousBut boy we broke some heartsIn and out of jobs, running freeWaging war with societyDumb blank faces stare back at meBut nothing ever changed
Promises made in the heat of the nightCreeping home before it got too lightI wasted all that precious timeand blamed it on the wine
Chorus:
I was only joking my dearLooking for a way to hide my fearWhat kind of fool was II could never win
Never found a compromiseCollected lovers like butterfliesIllusions of that grand first prizeare slowly wearing thinSusy baby you were good to meGiving love unselfishlyBut you took it all too seriouslyI guess it had to end
(Chorus)
Now you ask me if I'm sincereThat's the question that I always fearVerse seven is never clearBut I'll tell you what you want to hearI try to give you all you wantBut giving love is not my strongest pointIf that's the case it's pointless going onI'd rather be alone'Cause what I'm doing must be wrongPouring my heart out in a songOwning up for prosperityFor the whole damn world to see
Quietly now while I turn a pageAct one is over without costume changeThe principal would like to leave the stageThe crowd don't understand
