Bài hát I Was Only Joking Báo Lỗi

"I Was Only Joking"


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


Chorus:


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


(Chorus)


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
