Ever since I was a kid in school

I messed around with all the rules apologized, then realized

I'm not different after all

Me and the boys thought we had is sussed valentino's 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

Waging war with society dumb, blank faces stared back at me

But nothing ever changed promises made in the heat of night

Creepin' 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 wearin' thin

Susie, 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 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
