Lyrics
The Joke's On Me
Verse 1:
The very first time that I heard you giggle you caught my ear
When I turned around to see you smile you were so near
I thought that maybe if you knew me
You could not look right on through me like you do
Verse 2:
It's not the first time that I'd seen you laughing with all of your friends
Oooo, it must have been pretty funny whatever was said
I thought that maybe if you knew me
You could not look right on through me, but THE JOKE'S ON ME
Bridge:
How blind could I be?
I just couldn't see THE JOKE'S ON ME
Verse 3:
That was the last time that I ever saw you; were you surprised?
From the looks of the situation you realized
That before I really knew you
I would not look right on through you, but THE JOKE'S ON ME
