I Was Only Joking Lyrics - Some Guys Have All The Luck - Rod Stewart

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 butterflies 

Illusions of that grand first prize 

are slowly wearing thin 

Susie 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 

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 damn 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
