Joke's On You Lyrics

Drag me to death, like a lit cigarette
Took my last breath, like the smoke from my lips
I've lied for you, and I liked it too
But my knees are bruised, from kneelin' to you
I've had enough, but you're too hard to quit
We've had our fun, now your sugar makes me sick
I've lied for you, and I liked it too
But my makeup's ruined

And now I'm laughin' through my tears
I'm cryin' through my fear
But baby, if I had to choose
The joke's on you

The joke's on you

God knows I've tried to be kind
But I will just lay down and die
Wearin' a fake smile
The joke's on you

My heart's gone bad, now it won't beat for you
You had your laugh, now I won't play the fool
I've lied for you, and I liked it too
But I'm black and blue, from bleedin' for you
You strike the match, burn me out so fast
Look what we had, now it's turned to ash
I've lied for you, and I liked it too
But my makeup's ruined

And now I'm laughin' through my tears
I'm cryin' through my fear
But baby, if I had to choose
The joke's on you

The joke's on you

God knows I've tried to be kind
But I will just lay down and die
Wearin' a fake smile
The joke's on you

What is the Meaning of Joke's On You?

This powerful song seems to be a raw portrayal of a toxic relationship. The lyrics suggest an emotional journey where the singer has given too much of herself, even lying for the sake of her partner. However, she's reached a point where she can no longer tolerate being treated poorly. She's hurt and feels used, but instead of succumbing to despair, she turns the tables and declares that 'the joke's on you'. This signifies her reclaiming her power and self-worth. Despite the pain, there's also a sense of liberation and defiance in her words - she won't be fooled or hurt anymore. It's a poignant reminder for us all to stand up for ourselves in relationships and not let anyone diminish our value. 🌹
