I Was Only Kidding ------------------ by "Weird Al" Yankovic When I said 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 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... CHORUS (I was only kidding) I was only kidding (I was only kidding) I was only kidding 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) 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 said that you're just getting more and more Beautiful every day Well, I was only kidding, honey What's that matter with you anyway? Let me tell you something (CHORUS) Well I guess it probably hurts you a lot, But you gotta know I really love you...NOT! When I said you oughtta 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?
