I wasn't fooling around everything's true that I said
So take me seriously darling please just take me
I wasn't fooling around
Laugh if you want to but I wasn't joking about this love that's real
Is it surprising I'm romanticising about the way I feel
I wasn't playing a game I'm not a kid anymore
I'm not the clown that's just here to amuse you
I wasn't fooling around
[ fiddle - steel ]
Laugh if you want to...
I wasn't fooling around it wasn't like that at all
So take me seriously darling please just take me
I wasn't fooling around I wasn't fooling around
