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 doin' it 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.

(Laughing)
Cause you're doin' it 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
