When I said that 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 that 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 belieeeeve you fell for that! You're so gullible...

(I was only kidding) I was only kidding

(I was only kidding) You thought that was for real?

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) Baby, baby, I was...

(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 we're apart

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

Beautiful every day

Well, I was only kidding, honey

What's the matter with you anyway? Let me tell you something

(I was only kidding) I was only kidding

(I was only kidding) You understand, don't ya?

I was only kidding

Well, I guess it probably hurts you alot, but you gotta know

(I was only kidding) I was only kidding

(I was only kidding) Come on now, get a clue

I was only kidding

I really love you... NOT!

When I said you oughta marry

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

(I was only kidding) I was only kidding

(I was only kidding) Whatch where you're pointing that thing

(I was only kidding)

Hey, I'm sorry if your heart is broke... you gotta realize

(I was only kidding) I was only kidding

(I was only kidding) Aww, yeah

I was only kidding

Now, honey, can't you take a joke?

(I was only kidding) I was only kidding

(I was only kidding) I was only kidding

(I was only kidding) I was only kidding

(I was only kidding) I was only kidding

(I was only kidding) I didn't lie to you

I was only kidding... Yes indeed

(I was only kidding) Baby, baby, you know

(I was only kidding) Hey!
