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

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)
