Laughing But Crying

Oh, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Ha-ha-ha-ha
You're gone, and left with my best friend
Well, I don't worry, honey
I'm glad you're gone

I'm laughing on the outside
Ha-ha-ha-ha, do you hear me, baby? Ha-ha-ha-ha
Yes, I'm laughing on the outside
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Babe, I'm just laughing all the while
I'm laughing on the outside
But crying on the inside day by day
Ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

Brought my buddy in my home
Told you to treat him like a king
But baby, when my back was turned
You gave him all, everything, oh, oh
I'll tell the world what a fool I was

Ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha
I tried to give my best friend a home
Now he's in store, the woman I love and gone
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

Yeah, honey, I'm laughing
Ha-ha-ha-ha
I'm laughing on the outside
Listen, do you remember?
I found you wandering around on a cold, cold night
In the streets, baby
Why, you didn't have clothes to wear
You didn't even have money to buy food
Nowhere to lay your pretty head
I took you in, remember?
I took you in and gave you a place to stay
Money in your pocketbook, clothes to wear
And now you're gone, deserted me
And left with the best friend I had in the world
What a laugh, ha-ha-ha
What a laugh, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha

Oh, love is just a gamble
I played a losing hand
Now I lost all your loving, baby
To some other man, oh, oh
But I, I hope and pray there will come a time
Ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
I hope he'll break your heart, baby
Oh, just as you broke mine
Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha, oh-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho

I'm laughing on the outside, ha-ha-ha-ha
Oh, laughing on the outside, ha-ha
