I Started A Joke (Live)

Bee Gees · Other Songs - Bee Gees

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 said



Till 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 said



Till I finally died

Which started the whole world living

Oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me

Oh no, that the joke was on me
