I Started a Joke. Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I started a joke
Which started the whole world crying
But I didn't see
That the joke was on me, oh no

[Verse 2]
I started to cry
Which started the whole world laughing
Oh, if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
'Til I finally died
Which started the whole world living
Oh, if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
'Til I finally died
Which started thе whole world living
Oh, if I'd only seen
That the joke was on mе

[Outro]
That the joke was on me
That the joke was on me

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
