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
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
I was only joking
my dear
looking for a way
to hide my fear
What kind of fool was I
I could never win
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 wanna 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
