(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, gues what? I was only kidding, baby

I can('t belieeeeeve 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 baby

Every second that we're apart

When I sore that you're just getting more and more

Beautiful every day

Well, I was only kidding, honey

Whaat's that matter with you anyway?

Let me tell you something



CHORUS+

Well I guess it probably hurts you a bit,

But you gotta know

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



CHORUS+



Watch where you're pointing that thing!

Hey, I'm sorry if your heart is broke

You gotta realize



CHORUS
