(Jim Lauderdale - John Leventhal)

I wasn't fooling around, everything's true that I say.
So take me seriously, darlin, please just take me.
I wasn't fooling around.

Chorus:
Laugh if you want to, but I wasn't joking
About this love that's real.
Is it surprising I'm romanticizing about the way I feel.

I wasn't playing a game, I'm not a kid, anymore.
I'm not the clown that's just here to amuse you.
I wasn't fooling around.

Chorus:
Laugh if you want to, but I wasn't joking
About this love that's real.
Is it surprising I'm romanticizing about the way I feel.

I wasn't fooling around, it wasn't like that at all.
So take me seriously, darlin' please just take me.
I wasn't fooling around.

I wasn't fooling around...
