Laughing Songtext
von Burton Cummings

I should laugh, but I cry
Because your love has passed me by
You took me by surprise
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)
That ain't the way it should be
You took away everything I had
You put the hurt on me
(Laughing)
′Cause you′re doing to me
(Laughing)
What you're doing to me
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 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)
That ain′t the way it should be
You took away everything I had
You put the hurt on me
(Laughing)
'Cause you're doing to me
(Laughing)
What you′re doing to me
You took away everything I had
You put the hurt on me

(Laughing)
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
(Laughing)
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
(Laughing)
Were you laughing at me?
(Laughing)
Are you laughing at me?
(Laughing)
Well, I′m looking, you're laughing
(Laughing)
You′re a-lookin', I′m a-laughing
(Laughing)
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
(Laughing)
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
(Laughing)
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
You took away everything I had
You put the hurt on me
