When I said that I’d be faithful
When I promised I’d be true
When I swore that I could never
Be with anyone but you
When I told you that I loved you
With those tender words I spoke
I was only kidding
Now, can’t you take a joke?
When I said that I need you, baby
When I told you that I really care
When I said that I can’t live without you
When I said I’d follow you anywhere
When I said you could always trust me
When I said I’d never leave you flat
Well, guess what? I was only kidding, baby
I can’t believe you fell for that
You’re so gullible
(I was only kidding) I was only kidding
(I was only kidding) You thought that was for real?
I was only kidding
Now I’m sorry if you misunderstood, but the fact remains
(I was only kidding) I was only kidding
(I was only kidding) Baby, baby, I was
(I was) only kidding
Well, I guess I got you pretty good
Now listen
When I said that I love you, baby
From the very bottom of my heart
When I said that I miss you so badly
Every second that we’re apart
When I swore that you’re just getting more and more
Beautiful every day
Well, I was only kidding, honey
What’s the matter with you anyway?
Let me tell you something
(I was only kidding) I was only kidding
(I was only kidding) You understand, don’t ya?
I was only kidding
Well, I guess it probably hurt you a lot, but you gotta know
(I was only kidding) I was only kidding
(I was only kidding) Come on now, get a clue
I was only kidding
I really love you
NOT!
When I said you oughta marry me
When I said that we should settle down
Well, I was pullin’ your leg there, honey
I was just foolin’ around! You see, I
I never meant to upset you, darlin’
I never meant to hurt anyone
I was only kidding, baby
Why don’t you just put down that gun?
Let’s talk this over
(I was only kidding) I was only kidding
(I was only kidding) Watch where you point that thing
(I was only kidding)
Hey, I’m sorry if your heart is broke; you gotta realize
(I was only kidding) I was only kidding
(I was only kidding) Aww, yeah
I was only kidding
Now honey, can’t you take a joke?
(I was only kidding) I was only kidding
