BEE GEES - "I STARTED A JOKE" - 1968

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

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, oh yeah

That the joke was on me, oh no

That the joke was on me

Oh, no, no, no
