Ever since I was a kid at school   I messed around with all the rules   Apologised then realised   I'm not different after all      Me and the boys thought we had it sussed   Valentinos all of us   My dad said we looked ridiculous   But boy we broke some hearts   In and out of jobs, running free   Waging war with society   Dumb blank faces stare back at me   But nothing ever changed      Promises made in the heat of the night   Creeping home before it got too light   I wasted all that precious time   and blamed it on the wine      Chorus:      I was only joking my dear   Looking for a way to hide my fear   What kind of fool was I    I could never win      Never found a compromise   Collected lovers like butterflies   Illusions of that grand first prize   are slowly wearing thin   Susy baby you were good to me   Giving love unselfishly   But you took it all too seriously   I guess it had to end      (Chorus)      Now you ask me if I'm sincere   That's the question that I always fear   Verse seven is never clear   But I'll tell you what you want to hear   I try to give you all you want   But giving love is not my strongest point   If that's the case it's pointless going on   I'd rather be alone   'Cause what I'm doing must be wrong   Pouring my heart out in a song   Owning up for prosperity   For the whole damn world to see      Quietly now while I turn a page   Act one is over without costume change   The principal would like to leave the stage   The crowd don't understand
