Words and music by Sting
6
I sat down and wrote this letter
7
Telling you that I felt better
8
Since you've gone and I was free
9
I'm so happy
10
I have so little time to spare now
11
I'm wanted almost everywhere now
12
I make out like Casanova
13
Friends are always coming over
14
I signed my name as if I meant it
15
And sealed it with a kiss and sent it
16
The letter headed through my mood
17
Happy in my solitude
18
But halfway home I changed my tune
19
And when I saw my lonely room
20
The mirror caught my eye
21
When I sat down, I cried
22
Big lie, small world
23
It was a big lie, small world
24
I had to intercept that letter
25
Telling you that I was better
26
I raced to catch the postman's van
27
He was leaving as I ran
28
I missed the bus, I missed the train
29
I end up walking in the rain
30
Big dog chased me down the street
31
Hadn't had a bite to eat
32
Feeling sorry for myself
33
And wishing I was someone else
34
I walked across the city
35
Because I couldn't stand your pity
36
Big lie, small world
37
It was a big lie, small world
38
The place you live looks opulent
39
And obviously a higher rent
40
Than a cozy little room
41
I had this sense of doom
42
Your landlord says you're out of town
43
But your new boyfriend's always around
44
The hour was getting late
45
So I sit down and wait
46
Here's the postman with my letter
47
Coming down the path he better
48
Give that thing to me
49
I have to make him see
50
Begging doesn't do the trick
51
He thinks that I'm a lunatic
52
But then who comes upon the scene
53
But your new boyfriend, Mr. Clean
54
I hit the postman, hit your lover
55
Grabbed the letter, ran for cover
56
The police arrived in time for tea
57
They said they'd like to question me
58
But I can only curse my fate
59
I had to face the magistrate
60
It hasn't been the best of days
61
I'd like to fly away
62
Big lie, small world
63
Big lie, small world
64
It was a big lie, small world
65
Big lie, small world
