Ever since I was a (xx212x)
kid at school
I messed around with all the rules
Apologized then realized I'm not different after all
Me 'the boys thought we h ad it sussed Valentinos all of us
My dad said we looked rediculous but boy we broke some hearts
In and out of jobs runnin fre e wagin war with society
Some blank faces stare back at me 'n othin ever changed
Promises made in the heat of the nigh t creepin home before i t got too light
I wasted all that precious time an d blamed it on the win e
I was only jo- king my dear (my dear)
Looking for a way to hide m y fear (my fear)
What kind of fo-ol was I (was I)
I could never win
Never found a comprimis e collected lovers li ke butterflies
Illusions of that grand first prize are slowly wasted
Suzie baby you were good to me givin'love unselfis hly
But you took it all too seriously
I guess it had to end
I was only jo- king my dear (my dear)
Looking for a way to hide m y fear (my fear)
What kind of fo-ol was I (was I)
I could never win
Now you ask me if I'm sincere that's the question that I always fear
The first seven is never clear but I'll tell you what you wanna hear
I'll try to give you all you want but givin'love is not my strongest point
If that's the case it's pointless goin 'on I'd rather be alone
'Cause what I'm doin must be wrong pourin'my heart out in a song
Owning up for pro sperity for th e whole damn world to see
Quietly now while I turn a page Act 20's over withou t costume change
The principal would like to leave the stage
The crowd don't under stand
