[00:06.142]i was only joking
[00:09.742]歌手：rod stewart 专辑：foot loose and fancy free
[00:18.646]Ever since I was a kid at school
[00:23.114]I messed around with all the rules
[00:28.109]Apologised then realised
[00:31.861]I'm not different after all
[00:37.237]Me and the boys thought we had it sussed
[00:41.881]Valentinos all of us
[00:46.177]My dad said we looked ridiculous
[00:50.164]But boy we broke some hearts
[00:55.129]In and out of jobs,running free
[00:59.605]Waging war with society
[01:04.289]Dumb blank faces stare back at me
[01:08.412]But nothing ever changed
[01:12.700]Promises made in the heat of the night
[01:17.388]Creeping home before it got too light
[01:21.884]I wasted all that precious time
[01:26.12]and blamed it on the wine
[01:27.948]Chorus:
[01:29.572]I was only joking my dear
[01:34.69]Looking for a way to hide my fear
[01:38.584]What kind of fool was I
[01:43.272]I could never win
[01:51.764]Never found a compromise
[01:55.900]Collected lovers like butterflies
[02:00.464]Illusions of that grand first prize
[02:04.488]are slowly wearing thin
[02:09.07]Susy baby you were good to me
[02:13.505]Giving love unselfishly
[02:18.464]But you took it all too seriously
[02:22.675]I guess it had to end
[02:25.715]Chorus:
[02:26.291]I was only joking my dear
[02:30.625]Looking for a way to hide my fear
[02:35.310]What kind of fool was I
[02:40.265]I could never win
[02:42.51]（Chorus）
[03:27.532]Now you ask me if I'm sincere
[03:33.168]That's the question that I always fear
[03:37.755]Verse seven is never clear
[03:41.441]But I'll tell you what you want to hear
[03:46.558]I try to give you all you want
[03:51.237]But giving love is not my strongest point
[03:55.845]If that's the case it's pointless going on
[03:59.907]I'd rather be alone
[04:04.578]'Cause what I'm doing must be wrong
[04:09.566]Pouring my heart out in a song
[04:14.261]Owning up for prosperity
[04:17.803]For the whole damn world to see
[04:23.89]Quietly now while I turn a page
[04:28.301]Act one is over without costume change
[04:33.630]The principal would like to leave the stage
[04:39.20]The crowd don't understand
