[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
