[Verse 1] I was meant to be tall and good-looking I'm just an average guy I was meant to have a way the ladies Not just a way to make them say goodbye [Chorus] Looks like somebody played a joke on me Looks like somebody played a joke on me This is not the way my life was meant to be Somebody played a joke on me [Verse 2] I was meant to rollin' in money But it keeps rollin' away I was meant to have a life full of leisure I don't know why I gotta work all day [Chorus] Looks like somebody played a joke on me Looks like somebody played a joke on me This is not the way my life was meant to be Somebody played a joke on me [Bridge] On the day that I was born The angels got together And decided they could use a laugh or two They took away the perfect life That I was meant to lead And made me live the way I do Oh, oh yeah That's not funny Check it out [Verse 3] I was meant to do things great and mighty I'm doing laundry instead I was meant to leave something behind me But now I find it hard to leave my bed [Chorus] Looks like somebody played a joke on me Looks like somebody played a joke on me This is not the way my life was meant to be Somebody played a joke on me Looks like somebody played a joke on me Looks like somebody played a joke on me This is not the way my life was meant to be Somebody played a joke on me
