I started a joke Which started the whole world crying But I didn't see, oh no That the joke was on me, oh no I started to cry Which started the whole world laughing Oh, if I'd only seen That the joke was on me I looked at the sky Running my hands over my eyes And I fell out of bed Hurting my head from things that I'd said Till I finally died Which started the whole world laughing Oh, if I'd only seen That the joke was on me I looked at the sky Running my hands over my eyes And I fell out of bed Hurting my head from things that I'd said Till I finally died Which started the whole world living Oh, if I'd only seen That the joke was on me, ooh-oh, no That the joke was on me Oh-oh-oh, no-no-no
