Lyrics
- True love never does run smooth
At least that’s what I’m told
If that is true then our love
Surely must be good as gold
How we battle ev’ry day
And when I want a kiss
I have to start explaining
And it sounds about like this
Chorus
Angry please don’t be angry
‘Cause I was only teasing you
I wouldn’t even let you think of leavin’
Don’t you know I love you true
Just because I took a look at somebody else
That’s no reason you should put poor me on the shelf
Angry please don’t be angry
‘Cause I was only teasing you
- When we took each other
‘Twas for better or for worse
You said you’d be the last to quarrel
And now you’ve started first
Ev’rything I do it seems
Is just a big mistake
And when I say I love you
Then you think it’s all a fake
Chorus
Angry please don’t be angry
‘Cause I was only teasing you
Somebody’s lyin’ if they say I’m tryin’
To step around with someone new
Don’t believe a thing you hear just wait till you see
Then you’ll find no cause to show you’re jealous of me
Angry please don’t be angry
‘Cause I was only teasing you
