Lyrics Natalie Cole

Natalie Cole

The Joke Is On You

One of these days, you'll be crying

If you don't stop all your lying

Why do you just keep on trying

You're breaking my heart

I'm so confused, what can I do

But I refuse to be broken and blue

It's time that you heard the news

The joke is on you, baby

The joke is on you

You're gonna be, oh, so lonely

Set the table for one and one only

If you think I'll be back

You don't know me and you never will

Though I am sad, I've been here before

My eyes are dry, I'm not crying anymore

It's your turn to be in my shoes

The joke is on you, baby

The joke is on you

The joke, joke, joke, is on you babe

The joke's on you

The joke is on you, baby

I felt so ashamed

You're not the same

And talking loud, movin' fast

Never, never thought

I'd have the last laugh

It's your turn to be in my shoes

The joke is on you, baby

The joke is on you, honey

The joke, joke, joke, is on you babe

Sorry, baby

The joke's on you

The joke is on you

Joke's on you now, baby

Sorry, baby

The joke, joke, joke, is on you babe

Oh, yeah

The joke's on you

The joke is on you

Oh, sugar, sugar

The joke, joke, joke, is on you babe

Baby, ooh, ooh...

The joke's on you

The joke is on you

So sorry...
