I Sat Down And Wrote This Letter
Telling You That I Felt Better
Since You'd Gone And I Was Free
I'm So Happy

I Have So Little Time To Spare Now
I'm Wanted Almost Everywhere Now
I Make Out Like Casanova
Friends Are Always Coming Over

I Signed My Name As If I Meant It
And Sealed It With A Kiss And Sent It
The Letter Had Improved My Mood
Happy In My Solitude

But Halfway Home I Changed My Tune
And When I Saw My Lonely Room
The Mirror Caught My Eye
When I Sit Down I Cry

Big Lie, Small World
It Was A Big Lie, Small World

I Had To Intercept That Letter
Telling You That I Was Better
I Raced To Catch The Postman's Van
He Was Leaving As I Ran

I Missed The Bus, I Missed The Train
I End Up Walking In The Rain
Big Dog Chased Me Down The Street
I Hadn't Had A Bite To Eat

Feeling Sorry For Myself
And Wishing I Was Someone Else
I Walked Across The City
'Cause I Couldn't Stand Your Pity

Big Lie, Small World
It Was A Big Lie, Small World

The Place You Live Looks Opulent
And Obviously A Higher Rent
Than Our Cozy Little Room
I Had This Sense Of Doom

Your Landlord Says You're Out Of Town
But Your New Boyfriend's Always Around
The Hour Was Getting Late
So I Sit Down And Wait

Here's The Postman With My Letter
Coming Down The Path, He'd Better
Give That Thing To Me
I Have To Make Him See

Begging Doesn't Do The Trick
He Thinks That I'm A Lunatic
But Then Who Comes Upon The Scene
But Your New Boyfriend, Mr. Clean

I Hit The Postman, Hit Your Lover
Grabbed The Letter, Ran For Cover
The Police Arrived In Time For Tea
Said They'd Like To Question Me

But I Can Only Curse My Fate
I Had To Face The Magistrate
It Hasn't Been The Best Of Days
I'd Like To Fly Away

Big Lie, Small World
Big Lie, Small World
It Was A Big Lie, Small World
Big Lie, Small World
