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 believe 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.

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 baby, every second that we're apart.
When I swore that you're just getting more and more beautiful every day.

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.
