I never took life seriously
enough
When the going got rough
I turned and ran
Took the coward's way out
Instead of working it out
And now the joke's on me
The way it ought to be
Life is lonely at the top
the bottom, and the middle
While I was playing at living
I missed all the signals
Some things are bound to change
Some are etched in stone
If you don't believe in
anyone else
You're all alone
I never took love seriously
enough
When the time came to be strong
I thought my way was best
And I was wrong
I was so wrong
And now the joke's on me
The way it has to be
Some things are bound to change
Some are etched in stone
If you don't believe in
anyone else
You're all alone
The joke's on me
The joke's on me
