He saw no tears in her eyes

Say you wouldn't kid about it

She's telling all of those lies

She swore she'd never told before

But I doubt it



So he bit his tongue

And tried hard to capture his breath

When she said I waited all my life

For just a little death



Say you wouldn't kid about it

Say you wouldn't kid about it

Say you wouldn't kid about it



Sometimes he takes himself so seriously

She makes her movements mysteriously

Slow fast or furiously

It's a big responsibility

With a face full of mixed ability

Big dreams of elegance

Singing the leaving of Liverpool

And turning into Americans



Say you wouldn't kid about it

So what if this is a man's world

I want to be a kid again about it

Give me back my sadness

I couldn't hide it even if I tried girl



We fight so frail

Making love tooth and nail

You gave me the kiss of my life

I might even live to tell the tale



(chorus)
