Of Course I Meant It
Why so sweet when things turn sour
nothing bothers you,
Even though I know you're down
complaints from you are few.
When I asked you for a kiss
a smile was on your face,
When I said it was in jest
you called me a disgrace.
Holding back my smile was hard
none of it was meant,
Of course a jest it never was
my love you're heaven sent.
