Rod Stewart I Was Only Joking Lyrics

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.

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 b___erflies
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 joking my dear.
Looking 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 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 d___ 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
