Somebody Played a Joke on Me

[Verse 1]
I was meant to be tall and good-looking
I'm just an average guy
I was meant to have a way the ladies
Not just a way to make them say goodbye

[Chorus]
Looks like somebody played a joke on me
Looks like somebody played a joke on me
This is not the way my life was meant to be
Somebody played a joke on me

[Verse 2]
I was meant to rollin' in money
But it keeps rollin' away
I was meant to have a life full of leisure
I don't know why I gotta work all day

[Chorus]
Looks like somebody played a joke on me
Looks like somebody played a joke on me
This is not the way my life was meant to be
Somebody played a joke on me

[Bridge]
On the day that I was born
The angels got together
And decided they could use a laugh or two
They took away the perfect life
That I was meant to lead
And made me live the way I do
Oh, oh yeah
That's not funny
Check it out

[Verse 3]
I was meant to do things great and mighty
I'm doing laundry instead
I was meant to leave something behind me
But now I find it hard to leave my bed

[Chorus]
Looks like somebody played a joke on me
Looks like somebody played a joke on me
This is not the way my life was meant to be
Somebody played a joke on me
Looks like somebody played a joke on me
Looks like somebody played a joke on me
This is not the way my life was meant to be
Somebody played a joke on me
