I Started A Joke - Nana Mclean

I started a joke

The whole world crying

But I didn't see

That the joke was on me oh no

I started to cry

But the whole world laughing

Oh if I'd only seen

That the joke was on me

I looked at the skies

Running my hands over my eyes

And I fell out of bed hurting my head

From things that I'd said

I started to cry

But the whole world laughing

Oh if I'd only seen

That the joke was on me

I looked at the skies

Running my hands over my head

And I fell out of bed hurting inside

From things that I'd said

Oh when

I started to cry

But the whole world laughing

Oh if I'd only seen

That the joke was on me

Oh when I lie

Like before bird

If I cry

Don't you lie

Oh

The whole world living

Oh don't you lie

Oh he my friend

Oh baby

Don't you lie

Yet lie

Oh

I started a joke

But the whole world crying

Oh if I'd only seen

That the joke was on me

I started to cry
