"The Joke Was On Me" lyrics

"The Joke Was On Me"

Women to blossom in springtime
I do my best not to stare
My daddy once said the trick was
Pretend as if you don't care
I've never been good at acting
Truth be told neither has he
I wanna know what you're thinking
Let's go love, the drinks are on me

The drinks are on me
The drinks are on me
The drinks are on me
The drinks are on me
The drinks are on me
The drinks are on me
The drinks are on me
The drinks are on me

Isn't this world such a strange place?
Chock full of torture and glee
No matter how sometimes I hate it
I've made no plans to leave
I bought a bed set in Pittsburgh
Far too expensive to keep
I thought I might start a family
Turns out the joke was on me

The joke was on me
The joke was on me
The joke was on me
The joke was on me
The joke was on me
The joke was on me
The joke was on me
The joke was on me

All of the good things will find you
You'll get that white picket fence
Offer your nose to the roses
Good news then good news again
Watch as the day turns to evening
Golden light dazzles the eye
The lilacs all swing in the breezes
That magic is no-one's but mine

Its no-one's but mine
No-one's but mine
No-one's but mine
No-one's but mine
No-one's but mine
No-one's but mine
No-one's but mine
Its no-one's but mine
