The Joker Went Wild Songtext

von Del Shannon

Once I was a king
I thought always a king
'Cause I just captured someone's heart
But may I explain
I treated her mean
And then my kingdom fell apart
I found I couldn't sleep at night
And when I found her gone from sight
Found out I loved her
Became a joker
The joker went wild
And he couldn't smile
Because he had lost everything
The joker went wild
And he couldn't smile
He felt no longer like a king
Some friendly advice,
Treat her heart nice
Or she won't stay for
Very long if at all
If you think you're a king
And you know everything
Just remember the joker
Or you'll fall from her arms
You'll find you cannot sleep at night
And when you find her gone from sight
You'll find you loved her
Become a joker
The joker went wild
And he couldn't smile
Because he had lost everything
The joker went wild
And he couldn't smile
