He saw no tears in her eyes
|
Say you wouldn't kid about it
|
She's telling all of those lies
|
She swore she'd never told before
|
But I doubt it
|
|
So he bit his tongue
|
And tried hard to capture his breath
|
When she said I waited all my life
|
For just a little death
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Say you wouldn't kid about it
|
Say you wouldn't kid about it
|
Say you wouldn't kid about it
|
|
Sometimes he takes himself so seriously
|
She makes her movements mysteriously
|
Slow fast or furiously
|
It's a big responsibility
|
With a face full of mixed ability
|
Big dreams of elegance
|
Singing the leaving of Liverpool
|
And turning into Americans
|
|
Say you wouldn't kid about it
|
So what if this is a man's world
|
I want to be a kid again about it
|
Give me back my sadness
|
I couldn't hide it even if I tried girl
|
|
We fight so frail
|
Making love tooth and nail
|
You gave me the kiss of my life
|
I might even live to tell the tale
|
|
[Chorus]
|
