Lyrics:

(Jim Lauderdale/John Leventhall)

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 so real
Is it surprising
I'm romanticizing
About the way I feel

I wasn't playing around
I'm not a kid anymore
I'm not the clown
That's just here to amuse you
I wasn't fooling around

Laugh if you want to
But I wasn't joking
About this love that's so real
Is it surprising
I'm romanticizing
About the way I feel

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
