Lyrics:

(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
