美国乡村音乐:I started a joke

I started a joke¹
which started the whole² world crying
but I didn't see  oh no...
that the joke was³ 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 fell⁴ out of bed
hurting my head from things that I'd said⁵

Till⁶ I finally⁷ died
which started the whole world living
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

Till I finally died
which started the whole world living
oh, if I'd only seen
that the joke was one me oh no...
that the joke was one me......
