I Was Only Joking (Early Take 4) - Rod Stewart
Ever since I was a kid at school

I messed around with all the rules

Apologized then realized
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, runnin' free

Waging war with society

Dumb blank faces stare back at me

But nothing ever changed

Promises made in the heat of the night

Creepin' home before it got too light

I wasted all that precious time

And blamed it on the wine

I was only jokin' my dear

Lookin' 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 jokin' my dear

Lookin' 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 givin' love is not my strongest point

If that's the case it's pointless goin' on

I'd rather be alone

'Cause what I'm doin' must be wrong
Pourin' 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
