Robert Stigwood - I Started a Joke lyrics

I started a joke, which started the whole world crying But I didn't see 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 skies, running my hands over my eyes And I fell out of bed, hurting my head from things that I'd said Til I finally died, which started the whole world living Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me [x2]
