THIS IS GETTING FUNNY (BUT THERE AIN'T NOBODY LAUGHING) 
(Michael Smotherman)

Waylon Jennings - 1977

 

I came down with a broken heart just to start my summer
For when you lose the one you love it's a stone cold bummer
I just called you up to tell you I don't know what to say
I wish you knew the way I felt
This is gettin' funny, but there ain't nobody laughin', honey, come on back home
Tell me how you feel, though I can't stand this at all

Can't you see it's a mystery, I thought I was your lover
Guess I could fly, I could lay down and die
Six one way, half a dozen of the other
I could say I'm sorry, baby, enough's enough
I'm gonna break right down and bawl
This is gettin' funny, but their ain't nobody laughin', honey, come on back home
Tell me how you feel, though I can't stand this at all

I was out to show you what I good man I could be
You were out to hurt somebody
Now I'm going crazy, really did and I ain't lyin'

It's so lonesome here in LA, my summer's turned to autumn
I don't if you heard it way out there were you stay
When my heart just hit rock bottom
I'm runnin' round in circles, I don't know where I am
Won't you at least give me a call
This is gettin' funny, but their ain't nobody laughin', honey, come on back home
Tell me how you feel, though I can't stand this at all
How do you feel, though I can't stand this all
