Jerry Leger - The Joke's On You lyrics

Gotta funny way of saying she's leaving Like everywhere is just an open door Gotta funny way of saying she hates me Has me hollering for more Sick and tired every night She says it can be better when it don't feel right But I'll be going and when I do Babe, the joke's on you Got silly notions of romance Slaps my face 'til it's fire red Has silly words of second-hand wisdom Everytime she speaks I know it's something I'll dread Made up my mind There's gotta be a better life Across that river and I'll be taking my time You tried to hurt me but I've been evil too So babe, the joke's on you Way there on the mountain You wouldn't even think of rescuing me She ain't funny but she thinks so And everyday is just another routine I told her I was in love with her mother And had been since we were seventeen She didn't laugh I kept my straight face on I didn't mean to hurt you, babe Was that pushing too hard? But I'll be going and when I do The joke's on you I'll be going, oh honey it's true And ya, the joke's on you
