(Jim Lauderdale/John Leventhall)      I wasn't fooling around   Everything's true that I said   So take me seriously   Darling, please just take me   I wasn't fooling around      Laugh if you want to   But I wasn't joking   About this love that's so real   Is it surprising   I'm romanticizing   About the way I feel      I wasn't playing around   I'm not a kid anymore   I'm not the clown   That's just here to amuse you   I wasn't fooling around      Laugh if you want to   But I wasn't joking   About this love that's so 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   Darling, please just take me   I wasn't fooling around   I wasn't fooling around
