Spare Me the Last Joke Songtext
von Diamond Dogs

Well, it′s all over town that you let me down
That I lost what I found in you
Though I tried to understand, tried to take it like a man
But I don't know if I can stand to make it through

Won′t you spare me the last joke
'Cause my heart's already broke
And there′s nothing you can do that can change it
You have taken all my smiles
Left me rollin′ in the aisles
Where the lights are out and the house, it's all empty

Well, I made you the only one
But I was just your bit of fun
I heard them say you′re movin' on to be free
But please don′t say it makes you sad to be losin' what we had
′Cause I can hear you laughing as you're leavin'


Won′t you spare me the last joke
′Cause my heart's already broke
And there′s nothing you can do that can change me
You have taken all my smiles
Left me rollin' in the aisles
Where the lights are out and the house, it′s all empty

This play is like you wrote it
Don't try to sugar-coat it now
Don′t tell me that you loved me
And you'll be thinkin' of me
Well, just save it for another clown
Oh, another clown, oh yeah

Won′t you spare me the last joke
′Cause my heart's already broke
And there′s nothing you can do that can change it
You have taken all my smiles
Left me rollin' in the aisles
Where the lights are out and the house, it′s all empty

Yeah
Where the lights are out and the house, it's all empty
