Laughing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I should laugh, but I cry
Because your love has passed me by
You took me by surprise
You didn't realize that I was waiting
Time goes slowly but carries on
And now the best years
Have come and gone
You took me by surprise
I didn't realize that you were laughing
(Laughing) 'cause you're doing to me
(Laughing) it ain't the way it should be
You took away everything I had
You put the hurt on me
I go alone now, calling your name
After losing at the game
You took me by surprise
I didn't realize that you were laughing
Time goes slowly, but carries on
And now the best years
The best years have come and gone
You took me by surprise
I didn't realize that you were laughing
(Laughing) 'cause you're doing to me
(Laughing) it ain't the way it should be
You took away everything I had
You put the hurt on me
(Laughing) ha ha ha ha ha ha
(Laughing) ha ha ha ha ha ha
(Laughing) what, you laughing at me?
(Laughing) what, you laughing at me?
(Laughing) oh, what you do on the weekend?
(Laughing) I wanna look when you're laughing
(Laughing) I wanna look when you're laughing
(Laughing)
