Makeup on your shoulder silence in the air

Tonight those telltale signs are everywhere

As you lay beside her talkin' in your dreams

The game is up and laughter turns to tears



Every time you phone her with a dumb excuse

She starts to think that she's outgrown her use

You'll be home by midnight workin' late it seems

The penny drops and laughter turns to tears



Do you think she's crazy

Don't you think she knows

Do you think she's taken in

Don't you think it shows



When laughter turns to tears

Laughter turns to tears



You can send her roses say she's lookin' great

You can talk of love but it may be too late

You may think she's jokin' as her laughter teems

But with tears

And laughter turns to screams



chorus



Now it won't be easy

Finding words to say

how you really feel inside

You take the game away



When laughter turns to tears

Laughter turns to tears



One day it's gonna shake you up

Take you by surprise

Someday it's gonna wake you up

Tears in your eyes



When laughter turns to tears

Laughter turns to tears x2
