I started a joke, which started the whole world crying,
oh but I didn't see that the joke was on me, oh no.

and I started to cry, which started the whole world laughing,
oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me.

and I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
and I fell out of bed, curseing my head from things that I'd said.

Til I finally died, which started the whole world living,
oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was on me.

and I looked at the skies, running my hands over my eyes,
and I fell out of bed, cursing my head from things that I'd said.

'Til I finally died, which started the whole world living,
oh, if I'd only seen that the joke was one me.
				

They say this guy's, this guy's in love with you
Yes, I'm in love who looks at you the way I do
When you smile, I can tell we know each other very well
How can I show you I'm glad I got to know you
Cause

I've heard some talk, they say you think I'm fine
Yes, I'm in love, and what I do to make you mine
Tell me now, is it so, don't have me be the last to know
My hands are shaking, don't let my heart keep breaking
Cause 

I need your love
I want your love
Say you're in love, in love with this guy
If not I'll just die

Tell me now, is it so, don't let me be the last to know
My hands are shaking, don't let my heart keep breaking
Cause 

I need your love
I want your love
Say you're in love, in love with this guy
If not I'll just die
				

We care a lot
We care a lot
We care a lot about disasters, fires, floods and killer bees
              about Los Angeles falling in the sea
              about starvation and the food that Live Aid bought
              about disease, baby, Rock Hudson, Rock       Yeah!

We care a lot
We care a lot
We care a lot about the gamblers and the pushers and the freaks
              about the people who live off the street
              about the welfare of all the boys and girls
              about you people cause we're out to save the world

Yeah!

(chorus)  And it's a dirty job but someone's got to do it!

We care a lot about the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines
              about the NY, SF, and LAPD
              about you people, about your guns
              about the wars you're fighting
              gee, that looks like fun

We care a lot about the Cabbage Patch, The Smurfs, and DMC
              about Madonna and we cop for Mr.T
              about the little things, the bigger things we top
              about you people, yeah, you bet we care a lot

(chorus)  And it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it....
