Weird Al Yankovic – I Was Only Kidding

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
