I Was Only Joking (Early Take 4) - Rod Stewart[00:00:00]
Ever since I was a kid at school[00:01:11]
I messed around with all the rules[00:01:16]
Apologized then realized[00:01:21]
I'm not different after all[00:01:24]
Me and the boys thought we had it sussed[00:01:29]
Valentinos all of us[00:01:34]
My dad said "We looked ridiculous"[00:01:39]
But boy we broke some hearts[00:01:42]
In and out of jobs runnin' free[00:01:47]
Waging war with society[00:01:52]
Dumb blank faces stare back at me[00:01:56]
But nothing ever changed[00:02:01]
Promises made in the heat of the night[00:02:05]
Creepin' home before it got too light[00:02:10]
I wasted all that precious time[00:02:14]
And blamed it on the wine[00:02:18]
I was only jokin' my dear[00:02:21]
Lookin' for a way to hide my fear[00:02:26]
What kind of fool was I[00:02:30]
I could never win[00:02:36]
Never found a compromise[00:02:43]
Collected lovers like butterflies[00:02:48]
Illusions of that grand first prize[00:02:52]
Are slowly wearing thin[00:02:57]
Susy baby you were good to me[00:03:01]
Giving love unselfishly[00:03:06]
But you took it all too seriously[00:03:10]
I guess it had to end[00:03:14]
I was only jokin' my dear[00:03:18]
Lookin' for a way to hide my fear[00:03:22]
What kind of fool was I[00:03:27]
I could never win [00:03:32]
Now you ask me if I'm sincere[00:05:15]
That's the question that I always fear[00:05:19]
Verse seven is never clear[00:05:24]
But I'll tell you what you want to hear[00:05:28]
I try to give you all you want[00:05:33]
But givin' love is not my strongest point[00:05:37]
If that's the case it's pointless goin' on[00:05:42]
I'd rather be alone[00:05:46]
'Cause what I'm doin' must be wrong[00:05:51]
Pourin' my heart out in a song[00:05:56]
Owning up for prosperity[00:06:00]
For the whole damn world to see[00:06:04]
Quietly now while I turn a page[00:06:10]
Act one is over without costume change[00:06:14]
The principal would like to leave the stage[00:06:19]
The crowd don't understand[00:06:24]
