The Last Laugh Songtext
von Peter Cooper

There′s only two kind of people far as I can tell
The terminally ill and the worried well
Every time I tried to climb out of this wishing well
I only ever made it up high enough to hurt when I fell

Did you ever wonder? Of course you did
I always wondered how you kept it all so well hid
I had my heart wide open since I was a kid
I got a lot of love

Always inches from my ankles when he runs out of chain
My neighbor's dog knows I know how to drive him insane
I tried to give him a little taste of what I′ve been feeling all day
Always chasing after something slightly too far away

You think you're down to nothing? You ain't seen nothing yet
I been down and out to just about as nothing as it gets
I′m working all day, every day to pay my debts
I need a lot of love, I need a ton of it
I, I got a lot of love


My old man was always such a reckless bunch of fools
Lived by his own set of not-so-golden rules
The kind of showoff that hated a showoff′s guts
I always figured maybe that's what′s driving us nuts

I, I got a lot of love
I, I got a lot of love

I want a six-foot tombstone, two-foot thick
With the words engraved "I tried to tell you all I was sick"
So you will know that I was right when you go walking on past
You tried to tell me I was well, look who's laughing last

Did you ever wonder? Of course you did
I always wondered how you kept it all so well hid
I had my heart wide open since I was a kid
I got a lot of love

I, I got a lot of love
I, I got a lot of love
I, I got a lot of love
I, I got a lot of
Love
