I'm not your clown
I'm not your dog
Won't be your whipping post
Been kicked around
The laughingstock
Punchline is getting old

Before I turn the page
Before I walk away
I wanted you to know

You had me shaking
Had me wrapped around your finger
I was your April Fool
But look who's laughing
In the end it's safe to say
I guess the joke's on you
I guess the joke's on you

Look where it's gone
The tables turned
A twist of fate reveals
A tragic flaw
A lesson learned
Last laugh is mine it seems

There's nothing left to say
I finally found my place
I wanted you to know

You had me shaking
Had me wrapped around your finger
I was your April Fool
But look who's laughing
In the end it's safe to say
I guess the joke's on you

You had me shaking
Had me wrapped around your finger
But now I know the truth
But look who's laughing
In the end it's safe to say
I guess the joke's on
The joke's on you

This time
Life's cruel punch line
Is more than you can take
Ah, what a shame

You had me shaking
Had me wrapped around your finger
I was your April Fool
But look who's laughing
In the end it's safe to say
I guess the joke's, the joke's on you

You had me shaking
Had me wrapped around your finger
But now I know the truth
But look who's laughing
In the end it's safe to say
I guess the joke's on you
I guess the joke's on you
Oh, joke's on you
