1
I sat down and wrote this letter
2
Telling you that I felt better
3
Since you've gone and I was free
4
I'm so happy
5
I have so little time to spare now
6
I'm wanted almost everywhere now
7
I make out like Casanova
8
Friends are always coming over
9
I signed my name as if I meant it
10
Sealed it with a kiss and sent it
11
The letter had improved my mood
12
Happy in my solitude
13
But halfway home I changed my tune
14
And when I saw my lonely room
15
The mirror caught my eye
16
When I sit down, I cry
17
Big lie, small world
18
It was a big lie, small world
19
I had to intercept that letter
20
Telling you that I was better
21
I raced to catch the postman's van
22
He was leaving as I ran
23
I missed the bus, I missed the train
24
I end up walking in the rain
25
Big dog chased me down the street
26
Hadn't had a bite to eat
27
Feeling sorry for myself
28
And wishing I was someone else
29
I walked across the city
30
Because I couldn't stand your pity
31
Big lie, small world
32
It was a big lie, small world
33
The place you live looks opulent
34
And obviously a higher rent
35
Than our cozy little room
36
I have this sense of doom
37
Your landlord says you're out of town
38
But your new boyfriend's always around
39
The hour was getting late
40
So I sit down and wait
41
Here's the postman with my letter
42
Coming down the path he better
43
Give that thing to me
44
I have to make him see
45
Begging doesn't do the trick
46
He thinks that I'm a lunatic
47
But then who comes upon the scene
48
But your new boyfriend, Mr. Clean
49
I hit the postman, hit your lover
50
Grabbed the letter, ran for cover
51
The police arrived in time for tea
52
They said they'd like to question me
53
But I can only curse my fate
54
I'll have to face the magistrate
55
It hasn't been the best of days
56
I'd like to fly away
57
Big lie, small world
58
Big lie, small world
59
It was a big lie, small world
60
Big lie, small world
